1872579114Philadelphia: Lee & Walker 1872. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. Folio. Two nested bifolia making eight pages. Music shop stamp above the music on page three internal tape repair along the fold of the outer bifolium offsetting and foxing throughout soiling and rubbing to the exterior and light edgewear still a very good and complete copy. An instrumental piece for piano with pedal marks. Plate imprint " Dolly V.S. 13171 - 4." The cover illustration shows women in a type of dress that was popular at the time and known as "Dolly Varden" named after the Charles Dickens character from Barnaby Rudge. A quadrille was a popular dance in Europe and its colonies at the time and for ease of understanding can be thought of as an early form of square dancing; and a "schottisch" tune can be thought of as a slow polka. Put it all together and you get what must be one heck of a time! OCLC locates two holdings of the march and three holdings of the waltz but no holdings of the schottish. Lee & Walker unknown

The cover illustration shows a young woman in a style of dress that was popular at the time known as "Dolly Varden" named after the Charles Dickens character from Barnaby Rudge. The song speaks playfully of the new fashion stating "Have you seen my little girl She doesn't wear a bonnet/She's got a monstrous flip-flop hat with cherry ribbons on it/She dresses in bed furniture just like a flower garden/A blowin' and a growin' and they call it 'Dolly Varden.'" The front cover of this piece features a beautiful example of the style. OCLC locates only two holdings and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade. Lee & Walker unknown
1873589595Philadelphia: Lee & Walker 1873. Softcover. Fair. First edition. Folio. Incomplete: originally two nested bifolia making eight pages. The outer bifolium is separated along the fold and lacking the final page/back cover notched and worn along the folds from once being bound within an album the text is cut off along the top and bottom of the front cover most likely due to being trimmed to fit within the album the internal content is unaffected and a library stamp on the front cover an incomplete and thus fair only copy. An instrumental piece for piano four sections are present here but there is supposed to be five. Chesney Wold is the Lincolnshire Estate owned by Sir Leicester Dedlock in the 1852 novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens. The front cover features an illustration of Madame Janauschek to whom this piece has been dedicated to and underneath the illustration reads "As played at the Walnut Street Theatre." In the same year this song was published Janauschek appeared in a stage adaptation of Bleak House playing two roles Lady Dedlock and Mademoiselle Hortense; it seems this instrumental was a part of the show.

Edgewear including some nicking to the top and bottom of the fold light offsetting throughout and rubbing to the unprinted back cover affecting the printed verso though the music remains clear and legible. Song for voice contralto or baritone and piano with pedal marks. Plate number 10. The piece credits the words to Charles Dickens but they are actually written by Adelaide Anne Procter who had poems published in Dickens' periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round. The lyrics to this song are from her poem "The Cradle Song of the Poor" which was published in her collection Legends and Lyrics: First Series which had an introduction by Dickens.
