THE ORGAN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD: PART II ~ Len Frank In the 1890’s, color began to play a very large part in the advertising covers produced by Cornish. These two covers, shown below, had both a black & white and a color version, both present in the collection. Foolishly, we show the color versions - which of course our black & white reproduction will not show. This 1892 cover was produced in bright colors of red, yellow, and gray-blue. This 1897 cover was also produced in color - this time in red, white and blue. <strong>NJ</strong>PH Vol. 31/No. 4 November 2003 146 Whole No. 152
Len Frank ~ THE ORGAN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD: PART II By the late 1890’s Cornish was producing some very desirable and spectacular multicolor advertising covers. Cornish had long made pianos, but pianos were beginning to be a larger and larger part of their business, over organ sales. Both of these covers, the one featuring the piano above, and the organ below, are done in full color. These covers are both rare and expensive, and there are six of them in this collection, 3 each of a piano and an organ, with different postmarks and variations in the cachet. Those shown here are used from Washington, the piano cover in 1900, and the organ cover in 1903. Vol. 31/No. 4 <strong>NJ</strong>PH Whole No. 152 147 November 2003
