This is a sheet music song published in New York by Jos. W. Stern & Co. in 1899, composed by Jesse Shipp with the comedy team Williams & Walker, written for the popular stage and parlour piano. The picture shows only the opening page of the score: a piano staff with a tempo marking, dynamics, and sung lyrics beneath, with the title and credits set in plain serif type, which a designer might use for a vintage musical layout or a typographic reference.
