description

Summary

An illustrated sheet music cover for a polka composed by Henry Bellman. Within a circular, ornamental border is an allegorical scene based on the seal of the State of Virginia. A helmeted female figure armed with a spear and sword (probably Minerva) stands on the figure of a fallen despot. The latter's crown and broken scepter appear near him on the ground. The scene is also littered with broken manacles and a cross.

Lith. by A. Hoen & Co. Balto.

The Library's impression of the music sheet was deposited for copyright by the publishers on January 26, 1855.

Title appears as it is written on the item.

Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F. Reilly. Boston : G.K. Hall, 1991, entry 1855-1.
