Baltimore Cold Edition Harry Icicles Song Songs Vocal Walk Williams Words Sixpenny
Back, Back, Back to Baltimore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic American folk song that originated in the late 1800s, with lyrics written by Harry Williams and music composed by Egbert Van Alstyne. This vintage print showcases the cover art of a popular edition of the song, transporting us back in time to an era of simplicity and storytelling through music. The image depicts a group of African American men, bundled up against the cold winter weather, as they walk along a snow-covered street. The lead singer, wearing a top hat and carrying a sixpenny edition of the song, sets the tone for the group's journey back to Baltimore. The men's determined expressions and the icicles hanging from their hats and beards add to the wintery atmosphere, while the steam rising from their breath adds a touch of authenticity to the scene. The title of the song, "Back, Back, Back to Baltimore," is prominently displayed at the top of the cover, with the names of the songwriters, Williams and Van Alstyne, listed below. The intricate design elements, such as the scrollwork and the delicate typography, add to the overall charm of the print. This image is a testament to the power of music to bring people together and transport us to another time and place. The lyrics of "Back, Back, Back to Baltimore" have resonated with generations of listeners, and this print offers a glimpse into the rich history of American folk music and the stories it tells. Whether you're a music historian, a collector of vintage prints, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this print is sure to be a treasured addition to your collection.
