EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the original sheet music cover for "Street Traders etc. - Baked Potato Seller" from the popular 1881 galop "The Lights O' London" by Michael Connelly. The image, published by G. R. Sims, was first performed at the prestigious Princess's Theatre on September 10, 1881. The cover art beautifully depicts a bustling London street scene, with a baked potato seller at its heart. He stands proudly behind a small cart, piled high with potatoes wrapped in paper, ready to serve the hungry crowds. The warm glow of the street lamps illuminates the scene, casting long shadows on the cobblestones and adding to the sense of bustling activity. The title of the galop, "The Lights O' London," is written in elegant script at the top of the cover, with the subtitle "Street Traders etc. - Baked Potato Seller" below. The intricate detailing of the street scene, from the gas lamps and horse-drawn carriages to the people in period dress, adds to the authenticity of the print. This original sheet music cover offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the sights, sounds, and smells of London in the late 19th century. The galop itself was a popular dance tune of the time, and its lively rhythms would have been performed at social events and balls, adding to the joy and excitement of the era. Overall, this print is a beautiful and intriguing piece of historical ephemera, perfect for anyone with an interest in London history, music, or the Victorian era.
