Description:
A lovely example of turn-of-the-century parlor music, Comrades is a sentimental song by prolific composer Felix McGlennon, published by the National Music Company of Chicago. Like many popular songs of the era, it was intended for home performance, blending gentle melody with a theme of companionship and emotional connection.
The ornate cover design features flowing typography and decorative illustration typical of late Victorian and early Edwardian sheet music, making this piece especially attractive as framed ephemera. Light archival reinforcement has been applied to stabilize the original folds—an appropriate and professional conservation measure for sheet music of this age. A wonderful choice for collectors of antique music, vocalists, or those who appreciate historic printed art.
