Thread Name: Origin: After the Ball (from Frances Black)
Subject: RE: Origin: After the Ball (from Frances Black)
American Memory has an Oliver Ditson copy, also dated 1892, but with the Harris trademark. The same cover, with Lyon & Healy, Chicago, imprint, and another with Chas. K. Harris Co. imprint, are in the Levy Collection, all dated 1892. The song must have been an instant hit.
All have the photo of J. Aldrich Libbey, "the peerless baritone," on the cover.
Copies also in National Library of Australia.
