Description

"A Christmas Waif," words by Arthur Lamb and music by W. W. Cameron, published by National Music Company, Chicago, 1894. The front cover has the title, a subtitle "A Descriptive Story," the writer's names, the publisher's information and two images of a young child and his grandfather and a girl playing with a doll. The score and lyrics to the piece, which in a waltz tempo, are on three pages. The back cover lists the contents of a "Rosewig Folio," presumably offered by the publisher. With some soiling, a few stains and a bottom horizontal crease on the wrapper, the overall condition is good.
