The World War I love song music sheet Somewhere Somewhere in France measures 10 1/2 x 14 inches. The entire framed size is 20 1/4 x 17 inches and features a photo inset of Renee Close, a songstress who performed and became identified with the music.
Words for this song were written by William Vaughan Dunham, with musical score by Shelton Brooks. Leo Rossiter of Chicago was the 1917 publisher of the music and this information is printed on the cover.
The illustration depicts a distraught young lady seated at a table with designs of lilies/fleur-de-lis surrounding her, which is the French flower symbol, and appropriate for the Somewhere in France title. She cries for her love, a soldier serving his country, Somewhere in France.
At the top of the sheet is printed: Dedicated to Mrs. Mary Borden-Turner,USA, and below that in pencil are two signatures. The first is S. Russell Froenke, dated 1/18/18, and the second is R. Harold Froenke. How these individuals are linked to the musical sheet, we do not know.
The graphics are marvelous on this musical cover which is without rips or tears, just age-related browning associated with its 90+ years, and water marks on the backside at bottom, left and right. A display worthy framed music cover with top and bottom pre-drilled holes makes this collectable ready for a unique display. |
