A Beautiful Lady in Blue Sheet Music
The item shown is vintage sheet music for the song "A Beautiful Lady in Blue." The front cover features an illustration of a woman in a flowing blue gown against a dark purple background. The title is prominently displayed in a decorative script font. Below the title is what appears to be a signature, "Margaret Bules". Further down, the cover lists the lyricist, Sam M. Lewis, and the composer, J. Fred Coots. The publisher, Chappell, is also indicated with their logo and address information, including RKO Building, Rockefeller Center, New York. There is a red stamp on the right side of the cover, but the text is too blurry to read clearly. The paper appears to be aged, with some discoloration and creasing, suggesting significant handling and potential storage wear. The edges show signs of wear and possibly small tears. The overall condition is consistent with a used piece of sheet music from several decades ago. The style of the illustration and typography suggests the sheet music is likely from the first half of the 20th century, potentially the 1930s or 1940s, aligning with the popularity of the listed lyricist and composer. There are no visible major tears or repairs on the front cover, although the back cover and inside pages are not visible to assess their condition. The sheet music is part of a small stack of similar items shown in the background.
