	PECKET ALEXANDER J.: The Huntman's Polka. London ,Jullian & Co .(c1850).

In 1848 Julien ran into financial difficulties and was forced to sell his shop and thereafter his sheets were as Jullian & Co until 1858 when once again finacial problems arose. It is likely that Pecket's material were used by Jullien at his concerts, entertainments and promenades.

With an unsigned full colour lithograph cover of seven red coated huntsmen racing and jumping fences and in the foreground three dogs leading the chase. The original song was by John W.

The arranger of this famous song, Kiko has used it's them to compose a Galop Although M.Kiko has another twelve items listed on the back cover that he/she has composed I am afraid that the arranger/composer Kiko remains obscure. The publisher's Hutchings and Romer were at this address from 1866-77 at which point they added another shop and it is likely that the piece was arranged within that period. The only other thought I can offer is that one partner Francis Romer was himself a composer and that perhaps Kiko is Romer?Folio size with music.

The lithographic artist John Brandard (1812-1863) specialised in Waltz,Polka covers and usually worked extensively with Michael and Nicholas Hanhart to produce these opulent sheets, although on this occasion the cover printing was undertaken at D'Almaine's own printing works.
