With a monochrome portrait of the Louis Philippe Albert D'Orleans Comte de Paris ( heir to the French Throne) as young child by John Brandard and printed by M & N Hanhart. 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.

	ARNE THOMAS A.: Rule Britannia. London,Musical Bouquet of High Holborn . (c 1850) No 58 . With a stirring ¾ portrait of Britannia flanked by a sailor and a marine and with a man o’war in the background. Performed by Jullien’s Band, the French Guide’s Band and the Band’s of the Grenadier & Coldstream Guards. .This series commenced around 1846 and was the combined idea of James Bingley and William Strange and operated from 192 High Holborn and they blatantly pirated material from other publishers in the days before the establishment of copyright and Stationers Hall. This early sheet is just such an example. Nevertheless the front cover is stylish enough and may well be an Alfred Ashley front cover. Around 1850 Chas Sheard had replaced William Strange and indeed had taken over James Bingley's investment and under his control, the Musical Bouquet continued until 1889 and ran to almost 9,000 individual pieces of music. Folio size with music. Well used along the outer edge not affecting else condition good/very good. An excellent front cover and of course a very famous song by Arne which was originally written in 1740 for the masque Alfred in honour of the Princess of Brunswicks birthday and to commemorate the accession of George 1 € (euro) 22.00 [Appr.: US$ 32.96 \| £UK 20 \| JP¥ 2911] Book number: 1056 Click here to order or inquire at Olde Musick & Cokery Books.

London, Weekes & Co. c.1874 With a signed oval portrait by Michael Watson of the famous explorer and missionary Dr. David Livingstone(1813-73) and printed by Stannard & Son. Dedicated to Henry M. Stanley(1841-1904). Livingstone was a curious combination of missionary, doctor, explorer, scientist and anti-slavery activist. He spent 30 years in Africa, exploring almost a third of the continent, from its southern tip almost to the equator and he was found when thought lost, by Henry M. Stanley after a year of searching. Sadly the lyric writer William Henderson remains obscure.

In 1866 she married into the lesser royal family of Schleswig-Holstein and she and her husband had six children. She and her husband lived always in England. 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.

On March 13, 1879, Prince Arthur married Princess Luise Margaret of Prussia. It may well be that this polka was connected in some way to that recent marriage.

The composer Charles Godfrey (1839-1919) transferred from the Scots Fusiliers to the Royal Horse Guards in 1868 and as his affiliation to the Fusiliers is advertised on the cover, we can assume it to be before 1868.
