BRASS BAND IN READING, PENNSYLVANIA

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.

There are records of his working as a photographer from 1888 until 1910. To view other photographs by Strunk, click on the category “Photographer: Strunk”.
