Condition & notes
In good condition with a few small nicks and tears and light creasing along edges. Light overall scuffing, aging and soiling to pages as well, but otherwise unmarked. Beautiful cover design by Starmer. Stanley Murphy (1875 - 1919) was an Irish-American lyricist known for his work on popular early 20th-century songs, often collaborating with composers like Henry I. Marshall. Among their well-known collaborations is "Be My Little Baby Bumble Bee" (1912). Henry I. Marshall (1883 - 1958), an American composer, worked extensively in vaudeville and Broadway. Together, they wrote "Little Lovin' Lady Lou" which falls within the vaudeville style, popular in the early 20th century. [Verse I] Honey, dear, - the Springtime's here, The song birds are in tune, 'Long the line, in Lover's lane Are roses all in bloom. But the birds and flow'rs and trees, Ain't like they used to be, They just make me sad and blue, 'Cause you're away from me. [Chorus] Little Lovin' Lady Lou, I pine for you, indeed i do! Each night and day, when you're away I pray and I pray to the Good Lord I say, Please bring back that gal of mine, So sweet and kind, so fond and true, Bring back my Little Lovin' Lady Lou. A note about the cover art : Some of the most creative and eye-catching cover art of the ragtime-era were done by one of the prolific, but elusive, Starmer Brothers. Their work was of consistently high quality and they were turning out nearly a quarter of all large format covers from the late 1890s to around 1919. The identity of the artists was unknown until an invoice was discovered with a printed heading describing "Starmer" as artist and medical draughtsman. Not much else is known about the Starmer family.
