Harp and Accordion, from the Musical Instruments series (N121) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1888

"Harp and Accordion," from the "Musical Instruments" series, is a chromolithograph trade card created by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1888 to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The card depicts two women, one playing a harp and the other an accordion, with ornate borders and a decorative motif at the bottom. These trade cards were popular in the late 19th century as a way to advertise products and promote brand recognition. The image offers a glimpse into Victorian-era musical culture and the use of illustrative advertising.
