EDITORS COMMENTS
Lonesome Little Doll" is a captivating and nostalgic piano cover from the 1920s, as depicted in this vintage music print by Phil Boutelje. The cover, dated 1929, showcases a young girl or woman, dressed in a blue and white polka-dot dress, sitting on a yellow cushion in front of a grand piano. She cradles a teddy bear in her arms, her expression a mix of sadness and loneliness. The title of the piece, "Lonesome Little Doll," is written in bold, black letters at the top of the cover, while the subtitle, "A Novelty for Piano," is inscribed below. The cover design is adorned with various elements that evoke the spirit of the 1920s. A bunch of flowers sits on the piano next to the girl, adding to the sense of melancholy. A clock is visible on the wall behind her, its hands frozen in time. The price of the sheet music, displayed at the bottom right corner, is listed as "6d," which was equivalent to six shillings or thirty pence in modern currency. The use of vibrant colors, such as the blue and yellow hues, contrasts beautifully with the overall mood of the cover. The girl's lonely and introspective pose, coupled with the title of the piece, suggests a deep emotional connection to the music. The novelty piano piece, "Lonesome Little Doll," was likely a popular choice for home entertainment during the 1920s, providing a means of escape and self-expression for those who played it. This evocative music print, with its rich history and nostalgic charm, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of music to evoke emotion and transport us to another time.
