EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative music cover, titled "Shells of Ocean" or "I Wander'd on the Sea Beat Shore," dates back to the Victorian era of the 1850s. The image features a beautiful pile of seashells against the backdrop of a tranquil ocean, with the water gently lapping at the shore. The hauntingly beautiful melody and lyrics to this song were penned by J.W. Lake, with the music composed by J.W. Cherry. The cover is inscribed to P. Fraser Esq., adding a personal touch to this work of art. The intricate details of the shells and the rippling water are captured perfectly in this exquisite print, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. The title of the song and the image of the shells suggest a sense of wandering and exploration, inviting the listener to join the artist on a journey of discovery. The Victorian era was known for its love of music and the arts, and this cover is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the period. The use of natural elements and the focus on the beauty of the natural world were common themes in Victorian art and literature, reflecting the deep connection people had to nature during this time. This music cover is a rare and precious find, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless beauty of nature and music. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and to wander, like the artist, on the sea beat shore.
