	AUBER, DANIEL .: Come Spanish Maidens (Galop). London, Leoni Lee. 1836. With an initialed 'CB', monochrome litho and printed by Graf & Soret, of a Spanish maiden and in the background Spanish couples dancing on a grassy bank and across the water a town. Daniel Francois Auber ( 1782-1871) wrote many operas of great merit between 1819-69 including Frau Diavalo (1830) and La Barcarolle (1845) as well as concertos and piano pieces. Rather falling out of favour after his death he was fiercely defended as a very fine composer of opera by Brown & Stratton in their 1886 book. The lyric is by the busy but anonymous L. Devereux. According to the Biographical Dictionary of Printers, Graf & Soret were only a partnership between 1832-6 and the publisher Leoni Lee moved to this address in 1836 and that helps to date the piece.

	BAYLY, THOMAS HAYNES.: Fly Away Pretty Moth. London ,Willis & Co 1827. With a ½ page monochrome lithograph illustration by W. Bartholemew and printed by Charles Hullmandel of a moth flying towards a lighted candle. Bayly(1797-1839) was a darling of the salons of the fashionable and wealthy in London and Bath especially in the 1820's .Bayly died taking the spa waters at Cheltenham and with much of his wealth depleted through bad investment advice. His reputation remains high even today. This song was sung by the actress/singer Mrs Harriett Waylett(1800-51) who made a good reputation for herself in the English provinces and later at Drury Lane to sing in Love In a Village. In 1826 she married George Alexander Lee, the composer and appeared in his Dublin theatre for a ten year period. We can precisely date the sheet through Neighbour & Tyson's work on plate numbers as Oct/November 1827. It has been suggested by Simpson in a Century of Ballads that I'd Rather be a Butterfly was the first British Lithograph illustrated cover and this was the follow up song by Bayly.

He was invited to tour the capitals of Europe from 1837 .In 1838 alone, he had played 72 concerts and innumerable balls in honour of the newly crowned Queen Victoria.

	AUBER, DANIEL .: Come Spanish Maidens (Galop). London, Leoni Lee. 1836. With an initialed 'CB', monochrome litho and printed by Graf & Soret, of a Spanish maiden and in the background Spanish couples dancing on a grassy bank and across the water a town. Daniel Francois Auber ( 1782-1871) wrote many operas of great merit between 1819-69 including Frau Diavalo (1830) and La Barcarolle (1845) as well as concertos and piano pieces. Rather falling out of favour after his death he was fiercely defended as a very fine composer of opera by Brown & Stratton in their 1886 book. The lyric is by the busy but anonymous L. Devereux. According to the Biographical Dictionary of Printers, Graf & Soret were only a partnership between 1832-6 and the publisher Leoni Lee moved to this address in 1836 and that helps to date the piece.

Bartholemew and printed by Charles Hullmandel of a moth flying towards a lighted candle. Bayly(1797-1839) was a darling of the salons of the fashionable and wealthy in London and Bath especially in the 1820's .Bayly died taking the spa waters at Cheltenham and with much of his wealth depleted through bad investment advice. His reputation remains high even today. This song was sung by the actress/singer Mrs Harriett Waylett(1800-51) who made a good reputation for herself in the English provinces and later at Drury Lane to sing in Love In a Village. In 1826 she married George Alexander Lee, the composer and appeared in his Dublin theatre for a ten year period.

It has been suggested by Simpson in a Century of Ballads that I'd Rather be a Butterfly was the first British Lithograph illustrated cover and this was the follow up song by Bayly.
