Beschreibung

Original copper-engraved sheet of music (23 x 14.5 cm) printed on both sides, each song with engraved headpiece. Original sheet of music from Henry Roberts' 'Calliope, or English Harmony', which he described as 'a collection of the most celebrated English and Scots songs neatly engraved and embellished with designs adapted to the subject of each song taken from the compositions of the best masters in the most correct manner with the thorough bass and transpositions for the flute (proper for all teachers scholars and lovers of music printed on a fine paper on each side which renders the undertaking more complete than any thing of the kind ever published'. Henry Carey was a noted songwriter and satirist - a fierce critic of Walpole, and a part of the Patriotic movement in drama. His literary and musical reputation is being reassessed - once thought of as frivolous, increasingly attention is being paid to his influence.
