Description:
With My Love is a romantic song folio bringing together a curated selection of popular love songs from the American popular music tradition. Issued during the mid-20th century, collections of this type were intended for home performance and personal enjoyment, often given as sentimental gifts and kept as keepsakes.
The folio includes a wide range of well-known romantic standards, blending ballads and lyrical favorites that reflect themes of devotion, tenderness, and emotional expression. The interior contents list showcases the breadth of the collection, emphasizing familiarity and enduring appeal rather than novelty.
The publication is visually distinguished by its floral rose illustration and decorative lyric pages, presenting the music as both a musical and aesthetic object. This is an original period printing, not a reproduction, and survives as a representative example of mid-century popular song publishing and domestic music culture.
