Vintage Sheet Music Photography and Graphic Design

Sheet music covers give us over the years, a glimpse of both the music and the art of a given era.

1925, Love Dreams


1926, My Cutey's Due At Two To Two


1930, Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone


1936, The Great Ziegfeld


1939, Pinocchio


1946, Gypsy


1952, The GlowWorm. This song was originally copyrighted in 1902, but this cover is of the 'Modern Version'.


!954, Pagnini Variations. Note the early modern graphic art. Calder-esque, perhaps.

    i so love the Gypsy one, and the glowing sun (or moon, bright red?)

    and i forgot to mention how brilliant the title of your blog is, Yesterday's Myth, so fitting and so beautiful
