1897 Columbia Graphophone & Crown Pianos Vintage Ad #N1284

This original 7 x 10" magazine page out of McClures Magazine of 1897 featured several outstanding period ads.  The two I've highlighted here at a 5 x7" Columbia Graphophone ad advertising the phonograph for Home & Public entertainment.  On the reverse side of the page is a full page ad for the Crown Piano, one of the most embellished upright piano's I've run across on paper.  I've never seen one in person, but it would be amazing.
