1847 · 28173 — London: E. Lloyd. Poor with no dust jacket. 1847. First Edition. Hardcover. Poor disbound and incomplete. Water damage to spine and boards. Lacking lower 40mm of spine. Internally with old damp and mould stains affecting some leaves heavy staining on only a few leaves. NB: I wouldn't normally sell a book in this poor condition but these collections of songs appear to be scarce and a "glass half full" collector might appreciate having some of the leaves that are present. It also seemed better to offer the whole volume as is rather than try to extract and sell individually e.g. the 8 pages of "Lloyd's Song Book First Series No. 3" pages 17-24 which is a complete individual number i.e. First Series No. 3 containing the complete song "Ole Joe" on page 17 with illustration. ; A poor disbound song book containing several titles all published London: E.

Lloyd's Song Book page 17.Other blackface minstrel songs with illustrations include: Buffalo Girls as sung by the Ethiopian Serenaders at the St. James Theatre; Dandy Jim of Caroline words adapted by Leman Rede sung by Henry Russell published in Davidson's Musical Treasury;The Yaller Busha Belle sung by Mr. J.

Cowell; Uncle Gabriel performed by the Ethiopian Serenaders arranged and partly composed by Edward Clare;Ole Aunt Sally sung by White composed by Edward Clare published by John Reid; Dina Clare written by T. G. Ghislin sung by the Ethioian Serenaders published by John Reid; I Wish I Was In Ole Varginny music published by John Mitchell. The songs have the lyrics but do not have any musical notation. NB: "Minstrel shows including those by the Ethiopian Serenaders are now widely recognized as a form of racist entertainment that perpetuated harmful stereotypes though they played a significant if problematic role in the development of American popular music influencing later genres like vaudeville ragtime and jazz. - Grok accessed March 2026 .
