About this work

This black-and-white print shows a man and woman standing side by side in a park. The woman wears a long dress with a high neckline, and the man has a suit jacket and bow tie. Behind them, a tree and a distant landscape with a river are drawn in simple lines. The print is for sheet music titled *"Annie Lawrie"*—a song arranged for piano. The text at the bottom lists publishers from cities like Boston and New York. Next, look up sheet music to see how these covers changed over time.
