Description: The copyright date is 1840. Likely printed then as well. The key is the Champney tinted litho, signed in the stone. Benjamin was a painter held in high regard. Memory tells me he made a fine living painting in Europe. He did about a dozen sheet music covers early in life. This one for B.W. Thayer's Lithography in Boston. 6 pages, folio, rag paper. Sentimental song by Henry Russell, composer, pianist and singer, who was enormously popular at this time. His signature is facsimile. Scarce. Champney's music decorations were accessible back in the day. That day has passed.
