Circa 19: Sheet Music

Sheet music always surprises me with the great design quality and the relatively inexpensive prices. Even when printing was in its infancy at the turn of the century, great effort and talent was spent creating the covers of the music to help it sell. The technique in the 1930s was strongly influenced by the art deco style which likely came from Hollywood and the movies, since many of the songs were from the many musicals from that golden era.
