Pixie Land Music Appraisal

Musical Scenes From Pixie Land Sheet Music

This item is a piece of printed sheet music titled "Musical Scenes From Pixie Land" by Arthur L. Brown, Op. 16. The cover is printed on a light-colored, somewhat brittle paper that appears to be an antique cream or light brown color, showing signs of age and handling. The cover features a central title surrounded by a scattering of small, rectangular vignettes depicting scenes related to the title, which are printed in a dark brown ink. Below the title and composer's name is a list of the individual pieces included in the collection, numbered 1 through 10, with the last entry indicating a complete edition. There is also a note about "Foreign Fingering" and an address for The H.F. Wood Music Co. in Boston, New York, and London, providing manufacturing details. The physical condition shows significant wear, with creasing, discoloration, and a prominent dog-ear or tear at the top right corner. The edges are worn, and the paper has a visible patina indicative of its age. The overall aesthetic suggests it is from the late 19th or early 20th century.
