Offered here is a wonderful large format Newspaper Supplement Black Smericana sheet: "I'se Her Black-an'-Tan Adonis", "As Sung by Querita Vincent - with her photo on the cover", words and music by K. M. Gilham, Musical Supplement to the San Francisco Examiner, ca. 1898. You collectors know how tough these are to find in decent condition. They were done on newspaper stock. This came from a bound volume - thus tiny chips along the spine, which is separated - some very minor bug damage at the top left corner - one small elongated hole at the bottom right corner too - no big deal. It is a very scarce sheet and typical of the so-called "Coon Songs" of the period.
Offered here is an old vintage black related two-step cake walk large format sheet, "Impecunious Davis - Characteristic Two-Step March, Polka & Cake-Walk" by Kerry Mills, F. A. Mills Music Pyblisher, New York, 1899. This is a decent sheet over-all but it has several old paper tape repairs; along the spine and bottom right edge and corner - the sheet has been slightly trimmed and I still about 13 3/4" X 10 5/8" large. The inside pages and back cover all have white paper glued to bottom right corners - these donot affect the score at all. This is a very tough sheet and will be a representative piece in any collection.
