excellent
Great to see how copyright was handled in pre-war times.
Super information in copy-paste times.
There are literally thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these. I have a half million-plus sheets in my collection (U.S. editions) but have brought back at least 30,000 from the U.K. plus quite a lot from trips to France, and many are the same songs as already in my collection, except they have entirely different graphics. Sometimes the American are superior and just as often, the British are! The French (Salaberts) are even better. It’s what and why I love collecting sheet music!
