The Boys in the Band gather for this cabinet card photograph by photographer John Strunk, in Reading, Pennsylvania. The uniformed brass band consists of four member. A consultation from the Cabinet Card Gallery’s unpaid research department would be helpful, but for the time being, I will identify the bandsmen’s instruments as being a clarinet, trumpet, french horn and a flute.

This Cabinet Card captures an older man and his very interesting beard. Note the chain coming from his vest which is likely attatched to his time piece. The photograph is by the New York Gallery of Reading, PennsylvaniA.
