Description: In-depth Description: This rare cabinet card depicts a distinguished gentleman holding a cornet, suggesting he may have been a musician or part of a band. The photograph was taken by J.W. Morrison, a noted photographer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, around the 1890s. Morrison's studio was located at 505 Fifth Avenue, as indicated by the imprint on the card. Cabinet cards featuring musicians with their instruments are highly sought after, making this a desirable piece for collectors of musical history or vintage photography. This card offers a fascinating glimpse into the attire and instruments of the period, with the subject dressed in a suit typical of the late Victorian era. The cornet, a popular brass instrument during this time, adds a unique dimension to the photograph, suggesting the sitter may have been a professional musician or an enthusiastic amateur. Cabinet cards like this one were commonly used from the 1860s to the early 1900s, making this item over 120 years old. Rarity: Cabinet cards featuring musicians are less common than standard portraiture, adding to the rarity and collectability of this piece. The presence of a named photographer from Pittsburgh further enhances its historical value, making it a wonderful find for those interested in musical history or Pittsburgh memorabilia.
