Sheet music: Dolly Varden Quadrille – Schottisch
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker 1872. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. Folio. Two nested bifolia making eight pages. Music shop stamp above the music on page three internal tape repair along the fold of the outer bifolium offsetting and foxing throughout soiling and rubbing to the exterior and light edgewear still a very good and complete copy. An instrumental piece for piano with pedal marks. Plate imprint " Dolly V.S. 13171 - 4." The cover illustration shows women in a type of dress that was popular at the time and known as "Dolly Varden" named after the Charles Dickens character from Barnaby Rudge. A quadrille was a popular dance in Europe and its colonies at the time and for ease of understanding can be thought of as an early form of square dancing; and a "schottisch" tune can be thought of as a slow polka. Put it all together and you get what must be one heck of a time! OCLC locates two holdings of the march and three holdings of the waltz but no holdings of the schottish. Lee & Walker unknown

Sheet music: Dolly Varden
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker 1875. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. Folio. Two nested bifolia making eight pages. Light foxing and offsetting throughout toning to the exterior and light bumping to the corners still a very good and complete copy. For voice and piano. Plate number 13189 - 4. The cover illustration shows a young woman in a style of dress that was popular at the time known as "Dolly Varden" named after the Charles Dickens character from Barnaby Rudge. The song speaks playfully of the new fashion stating "Have you seen my little girl She doesn't wear a bonnet/She's got a monstrous flip-flop hat with cherry ribbons on it/She dresses in bed furniture just like a flower garden/A blowin' and a growin' and they call it 'Dolly Varden.'" The front cover of this piece features a beautiful example of the style. OCLC locates only two holdings and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade. Lee & Walker unknown

Sheet music: Chesney-Wold Quadrille Incomplete
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker 1873. Softcover. Fair. First edition. Folio. Incomplete: originally two nested bifolia making eight pages. The outer bifolium is separated along the fold and lacking the final page/back cover notched and worn along the folds from once being bound within an album the text is cut off along the top and bottom of the front cover most likely due to being trimmed to fit within the album the internal content is unaffected and a library stamp on the front cover an incomplete and thus fair only copy. An instrumental piece for piano four sections are present here but there is supposed to be five. Chesney Wold is the Lincolnshire Estate owned by Sir Leicester Dedlock in the 1852 novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens. The front cover features an illustration of Madame Janauschek to whom this piece has been dedicated to and underneath the illustration reads "As played at the Walnut Street Theatre." In the same year this song was published Janauschek appeared in a stage adaptation of Bleak House playing two roles Lady Dedlock and Mademoiselle Hortense; it seems this instrumental was a part of the show. OCLC locates only a single holding and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade. Lee & Walker unknown

WELLES, Orson, John Houseman Adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens
Radio script: A Tale of Two Cities
New York: The Columbia Broadcasting System Orson Welles and The Mercury Theatre on the Air 1938. Hardcover. Near Fine. Quarto. 94 mimeographed leaves printed rectos only. Bound or likely rebound at an early date with quarter canvas spine and thick card boards with typed title labels on front board and spine. Modest evidence of bookplate removal inside front board small chip at the corner of the label on the front board else very near fine. Adapted from the Charles Dickens novel. The Mercury Theatre on the Air produced 22 radio plays based on literary novels plays or short stories in 1938 this was the third play produced. Up until October 1938 all of the adaptations including this one were written by Orson Welles and John Houseman. Overwhelmed by the weekly deadlines Welles also starred in most of the dramas sometimes playing multiple parts they hired Howard Koch to assist - three weeks later they collaborated on The War of the Worlds - arguably the most famous dramatic radio broadcast in history. In A Tale of Two Cities Welles played both Sidney Carton and Dr. Alexandre Manette in this production. In the script page two is blank except for the word "Welles" - presumably Welles would deliver his introduction extemporaneously. The Mercury Theatre on the Air scripts are rare. OCLC locates a single copy of this script Dartmouth. (The Columbia Broadcasting System, Orson Welles and The Mercury Theatre on the Air) hardcover
