Enjoy! c. 1800—Nuremberg, Germany: An image depicting Nuremberg military musicians includes a serpent player (see below image; public domain) (Nuremberg, German National Museum). 1828—Great Britain: A military [...]

Belgian Buccin
I just added the following to the 19th century timeline (1st half) and to the post Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images. 1833-1900—Turnhout, Belgium: A catchpenny print entitled Harmonie, probably published by Glenisson and Van Genechten, features musicians playing various instruments, including a buccin (trombone with dragon-head bell) and a standard trombone (see below detail; public domain) [...]

Two Bones and a Serpent
I just added the below entry and image to the 19th century timeline (2nd half) and to the blog post, Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images. 1865-1916—Netherlands: A painting by artist Willem Constantijn Staring (1847-1916) depicts bandsmen of the 9th Regiment Infantry, including a pair of trombonists and a musician playing a green-colored serpent (see below image; [...]

Serpent on the March
It’s not quite as odd as the title sounds. I just added the below caption and image to the post, Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images. c. 1790—London, England: An engraving depicts a regiment of Foot Guards in front of St. James’s Palace. Included among the soldier-musicians is a serpent player (see below detail; [...]
Three Military Trombonists
I recently added the below three military trombone images to their respective timelines: 18th century, 19th century (1st half), and 19th century (2nd half). Not only are they all military subjects, but, although they span roughly a century, they also all feature rear-facing trombones (see here for more rear-facing trombones). The other element of interest [...]

Awkwardly-Rendered Rear-Facing Trombone
I added the below entry and picture to the 19th century timeline (1st half) and to the HubPages article, Backward Advances: Rear-Facing Trombones throughout History. Although rear-facing trombones were common during the 19th century (see the many examples in the HubPages article), the one pictured below is a strange version (probably not very literal in [...]

Paper Serpents
As I mentioned in an earlier post on paper trombonists, an interesting little subset of music history images exists in the form of contemporary 19th-century military figurines. These figurines include military musicians, and, more specifically, serpent players. Although a number of such collections are available, all of the examples shown below were produced by the [...]

Paper Trombonists
The popular term paper tiger, indicating something that initially seems threatening but is in reality harmless, does not seem fitting for the trombone in general. If anything, the trombone is musically quite the reverse! There is, however, an interesting collection of trombone history images, originating from sets of 19th-century military figurines, that depicts trombones as paper [...]
