Commentary
This sheet music cover used the same stone as Sicilian Vespers, c.1832 (inv. 486). Although not signed, the work has Lane's initials scratched into the stone in the lower left. This music was printed by Thayer & Co. and published by Oliver Ditson. Pendleton's was in business until 1835, when Pendleton sold the business to Thomas Moore. Thayer took over the shop in 1840, which suggests that this print dates from after that time.
