Published the composer. This most interesting piece is signed in ink by the composer Sarah Ann Hayes who in fact also published her own material from her home in Twickenham.

	CRIVELLI D. & E.E.E.: Chick Weed. London, Crivelli & J.B. Cramer. Dec 1829. With a rare monochrome front cover by Maxim Gauci and printed by Engelmann, of the noted theatrical singer Miss Love selling Chick weed in front of the music publishing house of J. B. Cramer & also Cramer, Addison & Beale. The song was published by Cramer for the author in Dec 1829. Miss Love was mainly active until the 1830's being not quite in the Vestris class but appearing often on the London stages. She later became the Countess of Harborough. The composer D. Crivelli has proved elusive, I have found he wrote a book 'instructions and progressive exercises in the art of singing D. Crivelli & the song Non Giova il Sospira , canzonetta Veneziana. The lithographic artist Maxim Gauci(17774-1854) actually drew Miss Love several times and was a major artist of these early monochrome sheets. Especially rare to find the illustration of J.B. Cramer's music premises and of course signed by the composer Crivelli, in ink in the bottom right corner. With the help of Neighbour & Tyson's research this music can be dated December 1829.

With colour lithograph by Parla that shows two soldiers and an old man toasting victory and with an inset portrait of possibly the composer.

This sheet is particularly valuable as the composer has signed it with note to a former pupil in England Richard Adamson.
