EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a transit pass for the St. Louis Public Service Company, featuring none other than the legendary Duke Ellington. The pass, with its half-cream colored and half-green web patterned design, immediately catches the eye. On the left side of the pass, a striking graphic of Duke Ellington himself adds an artistic touch. The significance of this pass lies in its connection to the Y Camp Benefit Circus featuring Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra. This event undoubtedly brought joy and entertainment to countless individuals during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how music has always been able to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Duke Ellington's portrayal on this transit pass is particularly noteworthy due to his immense contribution to American culture as an African American composer, bandleader, and jazz icon. His influence on music cannot be overstated; he was truly one of a kind. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian Institution, this ephemeral piece offers us a glimpse into both transportation history and cultural heritage. It reminds us that art can be found in unexpected places – even on something as mundane as a transit pass. As we admire this photograph today, let it serve as a testament to Duke Ellington's enduring legacy and remind us all of the power that art holds in shaping our society.
