About This Item
Various, 1910. 13 3/8" X 10 1/4" in dark blue leather. The covers are scuffed and abraded especially at spine ends and corners. Hinges are "iffy" but still holding. This is an interesting collection of songs bound together by Martha Beatrix Bacon [Later - Mrs. George Whitney] while she was in Paris just after the turn of the 20th century. There are 33 songs: a vocal part along with very challenging piano accompaniment. The sheet music is bound in along with the various covers. Some of these cover sheets are fairly plain, while others are colorful. Several have Art Nouveau designs. The music was published between 1898 and 1909. The owner's name and "1909 - 1910 Paris" are on the flyleaf. Miss Bacon's bookplate is inside the front cover. ONE OF A KIND ITEM.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket.
