This came in with the framed animal prints but we thought it deserved a post of it's own.
This is larger than the other prints measuring 13 by 18 inches (34 by 46 cms approx)
The print is the cover piece from the "The fairest of the fair" sheet music and the jolly bearded one needs to be loved.
£34
Such a happy smiley beard.
It seems to be from 1856, written by William Brough this piece for the stage was published by Thomas German Reed.
William Brough (28 April 1826 – 13 March 1870) was an English writer. As a dramatist, he wrote some of the earliest German Reed Entertainments, as well as Victorian burlesques, farces and other pieces.
Here is a link to some of the sheet music itself if you fancy having a sing song

Another set of pictures for you to get excited about and decide you need on your wall.
These 3 are all £20 each, although only 2 of them are a 'proper' pair, and even those could be easily sepertated and not look strange on their own.
The 1st one is the bird one. "Le Merle Couleur De Rose"
Dated as 1774. However with a lot of prints nowadays, they may be reproductions. (Part of me wishes they were as then it means a book hasn't been pulled apart to get the original prints from)
Even the lovely people who check things over for us are only "70% sure" they are originals.
With a pink mount and thin wooden frame.
11 by 14 inches (28 x36cms) approx
The 2nd and 3rd prints are of Pigs and a Zebu.
These are dated as 1799 as when they were published, but again only "70% sure" they are orignals as it is difficult to tell without taking them completely out of the frames (so they tell me).
White mounts with thin black wooden frames.
12 by 15 inches (30 x 38cms) approx
We hope you have enough wall space to fit these lovely prints in!
