The Saxophone was invented in 1841 by Adolphe Sax from the Belgium. It consists of a single reed mouthpiece and a conical metal tube, with keys which open and close by pressing buttons with the fingers.
The Soprano Saxophone is usually straight and has a higher pitch than most other members of the Saxophone family (there are Sopranino and Soprillo instruments with higher pitches, but these are much less common).
The photo shows the mouthpiece of the instrument including the reed
Saxophones are assigned the number 422.212 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-free aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
422 = Reed Instruments. The player's breath is directed against a lamella or pair of lamellae which periodically interrupt the airflow and cause the air to be set in motion.
422.2 = Single Reed Instruments or Clarinets. The pipe has a single 'reed' consisting of a percussion lamella
422.21 = Single Clarinets [as opposed to sets of Clarinets].
422.212 = With conical bore.

Provenance:
Notes: Adolphe Block (1829 - 1918) was a studio photographer and from 1863, a publisher of stereoscopic views that he signed with the letters B.K. In 1868, he succeeded Segoffin then took over the collections of François Benjamin Lamiche and Louis Augé. In 1876, he bought the holdings of Jean Andrieu then that of Jules Marinier. He ceased activity in 1915.
French tissue stereocard techniques were developed by J.L. Tardieu in 1853. Tissue stereocards consist of a print on translucent paper mounted on a card cut to frame the print and often with a tissue added . The image could be tinted and the tint visible when lit from behind as a transparency. The tissue format of stereocards were available commercially by 1855. The largest amount of tissue stereocards were produced between 1858 and 1875. Many tissue stereocard producers are still unidentified. Many are marked only by initials such as these which are marked B.K. Photos and J.M.
The Hôtel de Cluny was partially constructed on the ruins of the third century Gallo-Roman baths known as the Thermes de Cluny, thermal baths from the Roman era of Gaul. Now called the Musée de Cluny or the Musée national du Moyen Age, is located in the Latin quarter in the 5th arrondissement of Paris at 6 Place Paul-Painlevé, south of the Boulevard Saint-Germain, between the Boulevard Saint-Michel and the Rue Saint-Jacques. The museum consists of two buildings: the frigidarium ("cooling room"), within the vestiges of the Thermes de Cluny, and the Hôtel de Cluny itself, which houses its collections.

French postcard. Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris. Le Tour du Monde en 80 jours. 6th tableau. Les funerailles d'un rajah.
Play by Adolphe and D'Ennery and Jules Verne, after Verne's eponymous novel, written in 1873-1874, and first performed 7 November 1874 at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin in Paris. Despite the enormous investments, even a real elephant was involved, the play was a giant success. People were queuing around the block to see how one could travel the whole world in eighty days, and in the case of the play, within the time span of just a few hours. From 1874 to the start of WWII, the play was constantly restaged and with great success. The version of this card must date from the early 1900s, while he first staging at the Châtelet dates of 1887, where it remained a crowd-puller for years.

‘Young Priestess’ William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1902
Devoid of narrative and almost sculptural in quality, Young Priestess is an artistic exploration of pure form, line and color. The fluid fabrics of the priestess’s garments and the drapery behind her contrasts sharply with her pale flesh and the stone mosaic of the floor. The priestess, both life-size and life-like, gazes directly at the viewer and is an example of the photo-idealism that permeated Bouguereau’s work throughtout his long career.
Bouguereau painted Young Priestess at the age of 77, only three years before his death in 1905. His traditional painting style and choice of subject matter, reliant on classical, religious and genre themes, was rooted in the French academy and is the antithesis of Impressionism and modernism. His work was frequently derided by contemporary critics, to whom he responded: “ A new art! But what for? Art is eternal…our art is the same as the art of all other times. One shouldn’t believe in all those so-called innovations. There is only one nature and one way to see it.”

Notes: NAPOLEON III (Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, 1808-1873, Emperor of the French, Nephew of Napoleon I) with his wife EUGÉNIE (née Montijo, 1826-1920) & their son LOUIS (Eugene Jean Joseph, 1856-1879, Prince Imperial. First as president and then as emperor of France, Napoleon took full advantage of his prestige as nephew of Napoleon I. Napoleon III gave France two decades of prosperity under an authoritarian regime.
Disderi devised the carte d'visite format in 1854 but it didn't take off until 1859, partly due to the popularity of this series of photos of Emperor Napoleon III as a carte d-visite

German collector card in the Moderne Schönheitsgalerie Series by Ross Verlag, second series, no. 221 (of 300). Photo: Radio Pict. Corp. Adolphe Menjou and Katharine Hepburn in Morning Glory (Lowell Sherman, 1933). The card was a supplement to 'Edelzigarette' (precious cigarette) Kurmark.
Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinée idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. In 1931, he was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page (1931).
Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) was an indomitable American stage and film actress, known as a spirited performer with a touch of eccentricity. She introduced into her roles a strength of character previously considered to be undesirable in Hollywood leading ladies. As an actress, she was noted for her brisk upper-class New England accent and tomboyish beauty.

Notes: Auguste Adolphe Bertsch (1813-1871) was a Paris optician, pioneer photographer and exponent of microphotography. In 1851, he improved the collodion process invented that year in England by Frederick Scott Archer, and using a solar microscope, began photographing lice, antennae of flies and crystals. Two years later he presented his photomicrographic research to the French Academy of Science. He was a founding member of the Société française de photographie in 1854. In 1861 he invented the first sub-miniature camera called the Chambre Automatique de Bertsch which featured a fixed focus lens with a view of less than 1 inch in diameter and used 1 1/2 inch wet collodion plate. He was killed in the Paris Commune of 1871.
