After All Song Sheet Music

This item is a piece of antique sheet music titled "After All", described as a "Song". The cover features a sepia-tone portrait of a woman holding a bouquet of flowers, likely the intended performer or model for the era. The sheet music is credited to "By the writers of 'SMILES'", with lyrics by J. Will Callahan and music by Lee S. Roberts. The publisher is listed as Jerome H. Remick & Co., with locations in Detroit and New York, and the number '5' featured above the publisher name. The paper appears aged with a creamy color, indicating its vintage. There are visible condition issues including creasing, particularly a prominent vertical crease down the center, wear along the edges including small tears and nicks, and some discoloration consistent with age and handling. There is handwriting in the upper left corner that appears to be a name and address, "Mily Grace Kay / Ho. H Schiffeumayne building" which is a unique and interesting detail but may or may not be original to the publication. The quality of the printing appears standard for the period. The overall style of the illustration and typography suggests a publication date likely in the early 20th century, given the popular song reference "Smiles" which is attributed to 1917. The sheet music was a common form of entertainment and cultural representation at this time.
