This is a real find; a bound portfolio of Civil War era songs; piano and pianoforte sheet music with a good number of them relating specifically to the Civil War. Some of them have nice illustrated cover sheets too, and these are rather rare. I believe this portfolio is rather unique and likely privately compiled and bound. Great color title page with early Flags of the United States and France too. Here is what you will find in this portfolio:

Surely, these were the \"Pop\" songs of the mid-19th century. Singer-Songwriters and composers like Charles Carrol Sawyer, Henry Tucker, Stephen C. Massett, Marshall S. Pike, Benjamin Hanby, Jenny Lind, G. F. Wurzel (George Fredrerick Root), Henry Clay Work were very popular at the time. In 150 years, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Madonna, et al, will be little more than footnotes in musical history. I cannot emphasize enough the rarity of this folio. There is probably not a duplicate of it anywhere. One further note- in-between the songs (most of which are several pages of sheet music and lyrics) there numerous advertisements for other songs. Not only a great Civil War collectible, but a scarce part of musical history.

Wear as would be expected- mostly ends, edges and corners but holding up nicely. Scattered foxing throughout, and a few small closed page tears but nearly Very Good.
