Early 19th Century sheet music
1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This print by Sidney Kent brightens a 19th-century songsheet cover. Who Wants a Husband? pops with color and promises a catchy tune. It’s one of many prints in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s H Beard Collection. Easy to miss, but it shows how songs back then sold themselves with bold artwork.
