Old King Cole - His Life & Death - A New Song
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intriguing title that immediately draws the eye to this vintage music cover from the 1850s. The cover features a beautifully illustrated scene by Alfred Crowquill, depicting Old King Cole, a popular character from English folklore, sitting contentedly on his throne, surrounded by his merry men and a merrily singing maidservant. The king wears a grand robe adorned with gold and jewels, and a crown sits atop his head, reflecting his regal status. The title of the song, "Old King Cole: His Life & Death," suggests a narrative that goes beyond the typical merry-making associated with the character. The addition of the phrase "A New Song" implies that this is a fresh interpretation of the Old King Cole legend, perhaps with updated lyrics or a new melody. The arrangement of the song is credited to As Rich, and the lyrics and music were composed by N. Hounneman. The cover's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its ornate typography and intricate illustrations. The muted colors and delicate shading add to the antique feel, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and storytelling through music. This cover is not only a visual delight but also a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the rich musical and artistic traditions of the past. The image on this music cover is a testament to the enduring appeal of Old King Cole as a cultural icon and the power of music to tell stories and transport us to other worlds. Whether you're a collector of vintage music covers, a historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this cover is sure to captivate and delight.
