Baby Rose. Novelty Song

New York: M. Witmark & Sons, 1911 Large format sheet music, Lovely cover art by Andre De Takac. Andre de Takacs-This unique illustrator and sometime composer was born in Hungary in 1880. His Hungarian father, Andrew De Takacs, who may also have been an artist, was a Hungarian Count. De Takacs used lots of bold coloring in his work, such as in My Pony Boy, and was able to create both realistic images as well as pleasingly abstract ones. He was quite versatile with the "fade-away" technique, where the clothing or other portions of a subject is of the same color or pattern as the background, making the the relevant portions stand out more while the rest of the figure fades into the background. View She Used to Be the Slowest Girl in Town and Somebody Else is Getting It for vivid examples of this technique. 5 pp. Minor wear, middle page attached with clear tape at spine, one small edgetear. This sheet has had the edges trimmed with some lost parts of the front cover only. Fair only.
