From a painting by Winterhalter. Dedicated to Louis Philippe, the King of the French. Sadly the composer remains obscure, although there is a short note on the bottom that indicates that he composed a number of popular Quadrilles & Waltzes for the publishers. The composer Sydney Nelson(1800-1862) entered into a songwriting partnership with Charles Jeffreys around 1840 and soon afterwards they began a music publishing business. By 1843, Nelson had decided to leave the publishing to Jeffreys whilst he toured America, Canada and Australia. Jeffreys went on to make a considerable success of the publishing.The superb monochrome illustrated front cover is by John Brandard (1812-1863) who specialised in Waltz,Polka covers and mainly ballet and opera covers. He worked extensively with Michael and Nicholas Hanhart to produce these opulent sheets. Folio size with music. Condition VG.
