Vintage "Typical Topical Tunes" Sheet Music, 1918, Matted Wall Art

This is a 16 x 20 inch professionally done, custom double-matted “Typical Topical Tunes,” sheet music. The front cover features an illustration of a woman dressed in a gorgeous leopard coat checking her stockings. I love all her accessories; check out her feathered hat, evening purse, gloves and shoes. She is just beautiful! The graphics are amazing and the colors remain deep and true. This sheet music is copyrighted from 1918, so over 100 years old. It is from the musical comedy, “Oh Look,” and is the complete song sheet (all pages are intact and attached) for “Typical Topical Tunes.” Music by Harry Carroll, and Lyrics by Joseph McCarthy. It was published by McCarthy & Fisher, Inc. Music Publishers, W. 45th St., 148 New York City. The musical comedy was presented by Harry Carroll & William A. Sheer. The comedy featured Harry Fox. The cover says: “As Produced at the Vanderbilt Theatre, New York.” This matted sheet music will arrive to you ready to place into your standard-sized, 16 x 20 inch frame. The photos I’ve taken show how your print looks in the double mat, as it will reach you, and an example of how your matted print will look framed. This matted sheet music is in a hinged mat, backed by foam board, and is sitting in archival polyester picture corners. The music is set up to display as wall art, but it can be removed and played as well. The sheet music is entire and complete. The print is matted with quality, USA made mat board. It is attached with archival polypropylene mounting corners to quality foam board. The mat is hinged with linen hinging tape. Great for decorating your home, office, music room, or home theater room! • Mat dimensions: Width, 16 inches x Height, 20 inches; 35.5 cm x 45.7 cm • Sheet music dimensions: Width, 10 ½ inches x Height, 13 ½ inches • Mat color: Antique White (outer), and Black (inner) This is an ORIGINAL, vintage piece of sheet music, not a reprint or reproduction Since it is now over 100 years-old it is not in mint condition, and I will note here observations I see. This copy is in good vintage condition; the cover colors remain bright, with some smudging, light spots, creases and minor crinkles. On the front cover there is someone’s name in very light green writing. The center binding area is still attached, but has discolored some. The edges of the front and back covers, as well as the edges of the pages have some small tears, discoloration, and small parts of the paper are missing. It shows signs of usage on the edges. The inside pages show some yellowing on the edges of the pages, and have a slight patina of age to them, but the contents are completely usable. Please view the photos I have posted. I have taken additional close-up photos of the cover and sheet music, and can share them with you upon request. • Title: “Typical Topical Tunes” • Copyright: 1918 • Condition: Good • Quantity available: 1 • Edition: First Edition • Binding: Paperback • Publisher: McCarthy & Fisher, Inc.
