David Barnert Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Curious that although the text references the English Concertina, the image is probably an Anglo (could be a Duet, but certainly not an EC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is curious. But the description of the EC is quite accurate. That makes it even odder. But I love the card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Irishman Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Yes, and I like the idea of the concertina "occupying a position between the Mouth-organ and the Harmonium!" When I was a boy, my father had his mouth-organs lying handy in a sideboard drawer, and we had a full-size harmonium (a reed organ, not one of those Indian gadgets!) standing in the living-room. I loved both of them, and now I have an Anglo, a Crane and a Bandoneon. The bandoneon can come very close to the harmonium in sound. Fascinating, what turns up on eBay! Free reeds in general are fascinating. A friend of mine, who plays and collects barrel-organs, even has a cranked free-reed instrument, known as a "preacher's organ." Needless to say, the punched rolls for it are all American hymns! Cheers, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I collected Cigarette cards for years and have this card in my collection and also another card with a Concertina connection on is in the set "Life onboard a Man of War" which shows the Sailors Hornpipe being performed with Concertina playing sailor.

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I love the picture of that very well dressed corset wearing lady, with the concertina; " Oh, how undignified! (Maybe older generation would possibly have said in reaction?).. " I hope she does not do herself any injury.. positively indecent!"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
