Collection of 26 Nineteenth-Century Song Sheets, Rare. Not to be confused with sheet music, song sheets were single printed sheets, usually 9" x 6", with lyrics but no music. These were new songs being sung in music halls or new lyrics to familiar songs and offer an early example of a mass medium and perspective to the customs of the times especially during the Civil War. This archive of song sheets represent popular songs of the times and are in remarkable condition. Also included is a small collection of cards for businesses at the turn of the century.
