About This Item

New York: William Hall & Son (lithographed by Sarony & Major), 1851. No stated edition. Unbound. Image is very good; smudges and short closed tears to margins.. Sheet music cover, lithographed in brown and black. Matted in shrinkwrap (not examined under the mat; presumably only the cover is here). Overall ca. 13 x 17 inches, image ca. 81/2 x 12 1/2 inches. The artist is not credited. The sculpture of a mounted Amazon being attacked by a panther dwarfs its viewers at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. The original monumental bronze by August Kiss is now prominently located in front of the Altes Museum, Berlin, and a later replica was made for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Scarce: no copies in WorldCat, though held in the American Antiquarian Society. Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering.
