3 Rear-Facing Trombones and a Buccin
I recently added the below images and captions to the Trombone History Timeline. In addition to the 3 rear-facing trombones and the buccin (dragon-bell trombone), low brass players may be interested in the 2 serpents and the ophicleide in these pictures. For more information, see the HubPages article Backward Advances: Rear-Facing Trombones Throughout History, and [...]

Catchpenny Trombone
I mentioned a catchpenny print in an earlier post, although I didn’t explain the term. Historically, a catchpenny print is an inexpensively-produced image intended for the masses. A number of them contained military characters, including military musicians. Here is another catchpenny print that features trombone, just added to the Trombone History Timeline (19th century—2nd half). For [...]
Rear-Facing Italian Trombone
Here’s a rear-facing trombone from Italy that I just added to the 19th-century timeline (1st half) and will shortly be adding to the HubPages article, Backward Advances: Rear-Facing Trombones throughout History. If visual depictions are any indication at all, rear-facing trombones were surprisingly prominent in the 19th century. 1821—Italy: A depiction of musicians from the [...]

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 [...]

Pick That Thing Up and Play! 9 Trombone Paintings from 17th-Century Flanders
I recently added the top painting shown below, Hendrick de Clerck’s Minerva and the Muses, to the 17th century timeline (1st half). The timeline now features nine Belgian (or Flemish, if you prefer) paintings within the short span of approximately 30 years (c. 1610-c. 1640) that include trombone. They are similar in several respects. Several [...]

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 [...]
