Commentary
The cover of this sheet music features a drawing by Fitz Henry Lane showing an encampment of the New England Guards in Barnstable, Massachusetts, in September 1839. The music is dedicated to the Guards, a military organization formed in the War of 1812, and to A. Abbott Lawrence, a businessman and philanthropist. The Guards were in Barnstable to assist in the celebration of the town’s bicentennial. Lane signed the vignette “Drawn by F. H. Lane” making it likely that he traveled to Barnstable and made a sketch while there.
The same lithographic stone used to make this print, but with different text, was used for the membership certificate for the New England Guards, Encampment at Barnstable, Sept. 1839, c.1840 (inv. 477). This was probably the final lithograph that Lane did for Thomas Moore who in May 1840 sold his business to Benjamin W. Thayer, John H. Bufford and John E. Moody.
