Description

Sheet music for "California Quadrilles" by Jullien, published by William Hall & Son, New York, ca. 1850. There is a score for four variations by tempo for the instrumental, which appears to have tapped into the trend for music inspired by the California Gold Rush. The composer may have been French conductor and composer Louis Antoine Jullien. As disbound and with soiling, stains, dented corners and edge wear, the overall condition is fair.
