Single sheet on crepe paper, 184 x 120mm, printed on recto only along the outer margins, central box apparently blank - though impregnated with secret message to be revealed when heated; clean and fresh.

The 'Beecham's Music Portfolio' eventually ran to some twenty volumes, each containing 30 popular songs for voice and piano. Originally published in St Helen's, Lancashire, from where the firm was based, the complete volumes of songs could be purchased from the company, whilst individual songs sheets, as here, appear to have been sold, or indeed given away, by pharmacies.…
