Vintage "The Toymaker’s Dream" Sheet Music, Matted Animal Parade Art, 1929

This is a 14 x 18 inch professionally double-matted “The Toymaker’s Dream,” sheet music. The front cover features a parade of animals walking through a town. The parade is led by a cross-eyed cow, followed by a zebra, lion, a dinosaur, ostrich, elephant, giraffe (with a knot in its neck!), leopard, bear, etc. Watching the parade is a bird on a roof, a funny dog, a rabbit, a soldier, and a rooster. The graphics are amazing and the colors remain deep and true. “The Toymaker’s Dream (Characteristic Piece) with Violin Obligato, Words and Music by Ernie Golden. Featured by B. A.

This copy is in good vintage condition; the cover colors remain bright and lovely. All the pages of music are still attached. At some point someone folded the entire piece of music in half vertically, so there is a crease down the entire length of the music. It isn’t really noticeable unless you look very closely. On the front cover there is a name: “L. Wardell” at the top left. It shows signs of usage on the edges. The inside pages show some yellowing on the edges of the pages, and also have a patina of age to them. Fortunately most of the wear is located on the edges of the page and therefore can easily go unseen and hidden away behind the border of the framing mat. The contents are usable. Please view the photos I have posted, as they will give you the best idea of how it looks. I have taken additional close-up photos of the cover and sheet music, and can share them with you upon request. • Title: “The Toymaker’s Dream” • Copyright: 1929 • Condition: Good • Quantity available: 1 • Edition: First Edition • Binding: Paperback • Publisher: Edward B.
