1871 Henry Leslie's Musical Annual, 1871
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
A very scarce work from Henry Leslie, a leader in supporting amateur choral musicians in Britain, remembered for helping to found national music schools and prize-winning amateur choral societies.
Illustrated with a frontispiece by J. E. Millias - and with a tipped in advertisement of this fact to the title page - alongside three further plates by Val. Prinsep, Marcus Stone and G. J. Pinwell. Collated, complete.
Leslie published these annuals between 1871 and 1874, with all now vanishingly scarce.
With eight pages of advertisements to the rear.
