<p>The poster of <em>The Original Georgia Minstrel</em>s shows a saxophone player. I would like a good clear hi res image. Could I get that from you, Mr. Bell? I would be happy to pay you. Is there a way to get an approx source date of this poster?</p>

<p>I've been through my references on the Georgia Minstrels, and have not found anything specifically mentioning the saxophone. The Georgia Minstrels were an African-American minstrel troupe starting in the 1860s through the end of the century. They had a reputation of being of extremely high calibre. Sam Lucas was probably their most noted performer. I have found references to banjo, fiddle, trumpet/cornet, Tuba etc.</p>

<p>There were different groups naming themselves the Georgia Minstrels. Barney Hick's Original Georgia Minstrels was an African-American group starting in the late 1860s (he claimed 1865). I believe that the poster is for their group. In the early 1870s they had a string orchestra under the direction of George Skillings, and a brass band under the direction of John Wilson. It's possible there was a sax player, but I have not found a specific reference to this point.</p> I'd guess it was from the 188…tag:minstrelbanjo.ning.com,2011-01-14:2477478:Comment:202912011-01-14T23:49:26.000ZIan Bellhttp://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/profile/IanBell
I'd guess it was from the 1880s or 90s but that's only a guess.<br/>

I'm looking at the guy who's third from the right in the line of musicians. He's in between two cornet players - so he's in the horn section. It's admittedly pretty sketchy, but I can't imagine what else the artist might be trying to represent. Anyone else have an opinion?
