Tully wrote The Mont Blanc Quadrilles and C.R. Cooke the Chamouni Polka in celebration of Smith and his entertainments which were as popular in London as Madame Tussauds..Folio size with music. Repaired cover through lithograph and rather worn along outer and bottom edge & slightly foxed else Fair. However a rare humourous cover by Brandard.
