Henri Cramer) 2/4 polka piano solo, large format, published in Mayence, Germany (probably).  The vivid lute (or mandolin) player is brilliantly hand-colored.  The opera was very popular in its day. NOTE:  this sheet is full-size and not removed from a bound volume.    Condition is near very good, just slight wear and a small lower right corner crease. CONDITION:   I use a six-step condition scale to describe the overall paper quality:  Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.  Good means just that:  desireable for a collection with no immediate need to upgrade.  Excellent and Mint are usually reserved for publisher and music store remainders.  Expect Fair to have considerable wear.  All specific condition faults are noted after the general condition.SCANS:   The scanner bed is 11" x 17" so the full sheet is shown.  If there is any cross-hatching or moire effect in the image, it is from the scanning and is NOT on the sheet music itself. BILLING:     Please DO NOT use the eBay end-of-auction systems.  I always invoice 1-3 days after closing, adding fair postage and handling, and ship music in specially designed cardboard mailers.    Payment is expected promptly. While I accept Paypal, I prefer it for $20 and under totals only, as they charge me to receive money usually 3.2% from US accounts.  A $50 item would cost me $1.75 for Paypal payment versus your 41c stamp to send a check or money order.THANKS for your interest and good luck with all your bidding!!  MY BUSINESS:   I have 125,000+ song sheets, have been doing this as my full-time job for 22 years.  Place a Bid!
