		<title>Trombonist-Panhandler in 19th Century France</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Added the below image and caption to the 19th century timeline (2nd half). It is not known whether the trombonist fared any better than Joshua Bell did recently in the NY subway, or whether the &#8220;poor dog&#8221; is in reference to the trombonist or the actual canine.
1854—Paris, France: A drawing published in the French periodical, L’Illustration, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trombone Saves Man&#8217;s Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just added this touching story to the 19th century timeline:
1875—New York: Harper’s Magazine publishes a humorous fictional piece, “The Story of a Trombone,” with illustrations by Charles Reinhardt. The story is about a man who lives below a French trombonist whose practicing has become an annoyance. “It is not to be endured,” the man complains [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bassoonist does battle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another off-topic post, again about an image that I couldn&#8217;t pass up from Cassin-Scott and Fabb’s Military Bands and Their Uniforms (London: Blandford Press, 1978): We occasionally hear stories about military musicians pressed into actual combat situations. This picture, a 19th century engraving, captures a French bassoonist getting creative in order to hold off a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bandmaster Cigarettes&#8211;A Different Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is off-topic, but I came across this authentic cigarette advertisement from c. 1900 in Cassin-Scott and Fabb&#8217;s Military Bands and Their Uniforms (London: Blandford Press, 1978, p. 93) (see below image; public domain). There are several things here that make you scratch your head. We truly live in a different era!

		<title>Trombone History: Pair of Early Circus Posters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I continue to add to the 19th century timeline. Over the weekend I added a pair of circus posters, both of them highlighting musicians. The first one, from Ringling Brothers, shows a large band with 10 trombones. The second, from Barnum &#38; Bailey, features a small clown band as the focus of the image, including [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trombone History: Au Conservatoire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Added the below image, a depiction of the trombone studio of the Paris Conservatoire in 1886, to the 19th Century timeline. The image, originally from the French periodical L&#8217;Illustration, is a drawing by Paul Renouard titled Au conservatoire: Classe de trombone, professeur M. Delisse. Paul Delisse was trombone professor at the Paris Conservatoire from 1871 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milan: Fashion, Opera, and Trombone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Milan is a city known for both high fashion and opera (home of Giuseppe Verdi and La Scala opera house). But trombone? I recently added a number of entries centering around Milan to the Trombone History Timeline, revealing a fairly active trombone performance tradition in that city. The history of the trombone in Milan seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elite Female Brass Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I added the below images and entry in the 20th century trombone history timeline. The detail of the poster only shows one trombonist, and the full image is hard to see, but there are actually two trombonists included.
The creation of numerous &#8220;Damen Blasorchester&#8221; and &#8220;Ladies&#8217; Brass Band&#8221; ensembles seems to constitute something of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>This, That, or the Other: Labeling in Early Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished adding nearly 40 new entries to the 17th century (2nd half) timeline from Charlotte Leonard&#8217;s very thorough &#8220;The Role of the Trombone and its Affekt in the Lutheran Church Music of Seventeenth Century Saxony and Thuringia: The Mid- and Late Seventeenth Century&#8221; Historic Brass Society Journal 12 (2000), 161-209.

		<title>Six Valve Trombone by Adolphe Sax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Added the following to the 19th century timeline:
1864—Paris, France: Two prints in the illustrated newspaper L’Illustration depict instruments by Adolphe Sax. The first, Audition des nouveaux instruments d’Adolphe Sax, shows a man demonstrating instruments on a stage. The second shows several instruments up close, including a “Nouveau trombone,” the six-valve instrument situated between the two [...]]]></description>
