Figure 58. Atlantic Gardens, New York City. Style 10 Concert Orchestrion as shown in an advertisement by this large beer and dance hall. Originally exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 (The World’s Columbian Exhibition), the instrument was then sold to Atlantic Gardens. It is interesting to note that the photograph in this ad was probably taken at the Welte showroom in Freiburg. The wall treatment is the same as can be seen in many catalogs and literature by Welte. The smaller orchestrion to the right appears to be a Style 6.
