Band and orchestra instruments / Selmer
A Selmer trade catalogue of band and orchestra instruments published in New York and Paris in 1917, issued by the instrument makers Selmer to show their wares to musicians and dealers. The four pictures show brass and percussion instruments drawn in plain, even light against a pale ground, with a bass drum, a split-open drum shell, a French horn and a valved tuba-like brass instrument. A designer could take their clean, unshaded line work and tidy, centred composition as a model for product diagrams.
