1848Cat360New York: Atwill 201 Broadway 1848. Folio. Complete at 9 pages. Two songs with lithographic portrait of Lola Montez by Sarony & Major. Soft rag paper. Light foxing else very good. A likely very early American printing of two pieces tied directly to the upheavals of 1848 issued just as news and personalities of the European revolutions were electrifying American audiences. The first “Der Lieben Warnun†Love’s Warning is attributed to Ludwig I King of Bavaria whose abdication in March 1848 followed the political scandal surrounding his relationship with Lola Montez. The second “Les Girondins: Mourir pour la Patrie†with text by Alexandre Dumas and music by Alphonse Varney is one of the most popular revolutionary hymns of the period here presented in English and French. At center is the finely printed lithographic portrait of Lola Montez born Eliza Rosanna Gilbert 1821–1861 identified as “Countess of Landsfeld.†Produced by Sarony & Major the image reflects her brief but consequential position in Bavaria where Ludwig elevated her to the nobility and granted her influence at court. Her presence became politically explosive; student unrest and ministerial crisis forced both her exile and the King’s abdication making her a widely discussed celebrity at the time. <br /> <br /> Montez arrived in the United States in late 1848 quickly converting this notoriety into a touring career. She performed her “Spanish dances†including the sensational “Spider Dance†on stages from New York to New Orleans and later turned to lecturing advertising appearances on “Heroines of History†beauty and personal independence. During the early 1850s she followed the western circuit appearing in San Francisco during the Gold Rush where she commanded high fees and played to packed houses of miners and merchants. She toured through Australia in 1855–56 before returning to the United States where she settled in New York and shifted increasingly toward writing and reform-minded lectures before her death in 1861 possibly of syphilis. The piece was published by Joseph Atwill at his 201 Broadway location which he would abandon soon after to board the steamer Crescent City to Chagres eventually making his way to San Francisco and opening Atwill’s Music Store on Washington St. possibly San Francisco’s first music store before heading off to the mines and then returning to San Francisco a year later to open another music store.

Quarto 35.75cm; original pictorial wrappers; 6pp. Modest wear and handling some dust-soil and faint foxing to wrappers with several small tears and attendant creases to extremities and a faint tide mark affecting lower right corners; complete but just Very Good. <br /> <br /> A key piece of anti-suffrage sheet music - a strident response to the wave of feminist songs proliferating the marketplace in the years prior to the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. The lyrics encapsulate some of the many reasons that men and women were against women gaining the right to vote:<br /> <br /> "Work for the "cause" No time to pause Tell all the men that you know<br /> Why should a few Rule over you Suffrage is ev'ry man's foe<br /> Beautiful flower Sign of the hour If the Jonquil wants to fight <br /> You cannot fall You're the Queen of them all Emblem of Truth and Right"<br /> <br /> Anti-suffrage organizations like the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of Boston cited many reasons for their position including that women did not want the burden of the vote that women were already busy with caring for homes and families and that women were not capable of making astute political decisions.

191383995New York: Broadway Music Corporation 1913. First Edition. Quarto 35cm; original pictorial wrappers; 6pp. Old horizontal fold at center some creasing to wrappers a few splits along the spine-fold and several small tears and attendant creases to edges and margins of the inner leaf; Good to Very Good.<br /> <br /> Attractive piece of suffrage-themed sheet music the lyrics told from the perspective of a father and his little boy whose mother was absent due to her involvement in the women's rights movement. "A little lad with curly hair stood by his father's knee / Could see that he was crying he was sad as he could be / He sobbed and said "I feel so blue" as tears ran down his cheeks / "Oh father where is mother she has not been home for weeks" / His Pa said "Lad the tale is sad She's down at Suffrage Hall / She's gone to fight for women's rights why there's their bugle call." In comparison to the denigrating tone of other suffrage songs from the period the chorus here conveys familial pride: "Hear the tramp of their feet - as they come down the street / Gee those girlies look sweet They're all dressed up so neat / Your dear old ma just took a fighter's place / She likes the smell of powder 'cause it's always on her face / There's no rats in her hair - you can see she don't care / Holds her head in the air Gee your mother's a bear / Tramp Tramp Tramp the girls are marching Your Mother's gone away to join the army."

The Ethiopian Serenaders was an American blackface minstrel troupe successful in the 1840s and 1850s. Through various line-ups they were managed and directed by James A. Dumbolton c.1808– and are sometimes mentioned as the Boston Minstrels Dumbolton Company or Dumbolton's Serenaders. In late 1845 with line-up changes but retaining Germon and Stanwood the Serenaders left for a tour in England and possibly Ireland. An advertisement in The Times referred to their first concert to be held at the Hanover Square Rooms on 21 January 1846. The performers were Francis Carr Germon Moody G. Stanwood Gilbert Pelham or Pell; the younger brother of Dick Pelham with whom he had previously performed George Alfred Harrington and George Warren White. Pelham played bones and was the lead clown; Harrington bass and White baritone sang and played banjo a newly introduced instrument at the time; Stanwood tenor played accordion; and Germon alto played tambourine and sang comic ballads.9 Their songs included "Buffalo Gals" "Lucy Neal" and "Old Dan Tucker". For most of 1846 they performed regularly at the St James's Theatre in London. They played in taverns and theatres as well as private concerts for the aristocracy; they appeared before the Duke of Devonshire and by special command played before Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington at Arundel Castle. Music hall historian Harold Scott wrote of them: "They charmed principally by their gentility and this impression was heightened by the fact that they appeared in conventional tail coats and white waistcoats." The Era reported that "their songs are of a melodious and artistic nature. Several of the company possess quite good voices and the comedians manage to get the utmost fun out of their business without resorting to vulgarity in any form". In England they were frequently mistaken for real black men a misconception they always denied asserting that they had not the "least drop of black blood in their veins"; accordingly "they lost no time in published portraits of themselves with the white faces bestowed upon them by nature." The troupe's performances represented "the high point of minstrelsy's success in early Victorian Britain". However in their absence abroad rivals such as the Christy Minstrels gained a following in the United States. Upon their return from England in 1847 the Spirit of the Times wrote that the Serenaders' formal style in music and dress was too refined for audiences accustomed to the ribald humour of the Christys. Of a Serenaders' performance the article said ". we listen and are pleased but leave with little desire to return." At Christys "we listen and laugh and desire to go again and again." 1.
