White, C.A. - The Dear Old Home We Loved So Well

Title: The Dear Old Home We Loved So Well
Description: Boston, White, Smith and Company, 1874. Wraps. Folio. Appears to have been disbound from a larger work. Sheet music to a song sung by Charles B. Hicks and his troupe, the Georgia Minstrels. Hicks was an African-American performer and minstrel troupe manager and publicist, being one of the few to be successful in the white dominated genre. Top of the cover dedicates this "To Charles B. Hicks." The cover itself is a lithograph by John H. Bufford, drawing on stereotypes and idealizations of what the white US public imagined Black life to be like, using imagery to portray an older Black gentleman theoretically reflecting wistfully back on life in slavery. GOOD condition. Spine edge rough from extraction. Minor soiling and toning, with a few small stains. Good .
