Illustrated price list of band instruments : for sale by Lyon & Healy, Chicago
An 1878 illustrated price list from the Chicago firm Lyon & Healy, offering band instruments for sale to bandsmen and music dealers in the United States. Its pictures are engraved plates of brass instruments such as bell-up tubas, baritones, tenors and cornets, drawn in even outline with fine hatching. A designer could take from them a clean, orderly way of presenting a range of objects in a single family, with varied sizes arranged in stepped rows.
