4th of July Kitchen Parade

A variety of kitchen items become musical instruments in this 1890 sketch: "Fourth of July in the Kitchen."  Click to enlarge, closeups below...








A bed warming pan, with fireplace tongs as the bow, becomes a cello.  

A metal dish cover becomes a drum, and a spoon hitting a pot lid as a cymbal.  A funnel is a horn.


A meat fork playing a bellows 'violin', and a coffee grinder.
