About this work

This page is a chunk of an old book with black, red, and blue writing. The text is packed tight in neat rows, and some letters at the start of lines are fancier, with swirls and colors. Little black marks sit above the words like tiny musical notes. The page looks worn but still clear. The red lines between words might help singers follow along. The blue letters stand out against the brown ink, making them easy to spot. Want to see more like this? Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
