Beskrivning:

Cover of an 1895 Chappell & Co. vocal score for Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, arranged for pianoforte by George Lowell Tracy. The score is undated, but gives the cast for the 6th November 1895 performance of the Mikado - the Second London Revival, and does not include the note - found universally after 1911 in G&S scores - claiming its rights under the 1911 copyright act. As it emphasises the revival, a date nearer 1895 seems most likely.

Some very mild cleanup was done, mainly to remove a few cat hairs and other dust spots that had got on the scanner bed.

Also, although some of the image elements are slightly tilted, they are tilted relative to the edges of the cover, and fixing this would require a much tighter crop for that reason. This did not seem worth it.
