Short Trombonist

Two Military Trombonists
I just added two more images to the Trombone History Timeline (20th century). Both are military watercolors by Albert Escher (1833-1905), depicting soldiers of an earlier era. Notice that the trombone player is almost identical (including his instrument) in the two paintings, the differences being the uniforms and, of course, the facial hair. c. [...]

Two More 16th-Century Trombones in Procession
Just added the below two images to the 16th-century timeline. They are both from a procession in 1582 in Dresden, Germany (more details can be found in the timeline). The fact that the trombone players are either female or dressed as female is interesting, as is the instrumentation of the ensembles. Click on picture for [...]

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).
