An Album of Twelve Hush-Songs Composed by Alicia Adelaide Needham. Boosey & Co., London, SIGNED BY COMPOSER, SCARCE, FRONTISPIECE, 1897. Folio size collection of international lullabies by Victorian era composer who signed the title page as shown. The term "hush songs" of course is another term for lullabies.

Interesting and very unusual music/lullaby related item. We have a number of lullaby related books up on eBay now or will have in the weeks ahead which came out of one old collection. 104 pages.
Good Plus condition with wear to edges, corners are bent inward, head and heel of spine show wear, some soiling and age browning to some pages.
