Set of two early-mid 19th century music books compiled by hand, with some notes in pen and pencil. Unique and personal, with gorgeous colour images and covers amongst the scores.

Set of two piano music books, likely mid to later 19th century based on the contents and the portraits of a young Queen Victoria in one of them. They have been hand-compiled from a series of separately published pamphlets and as such feature lovely covers - some embossed, with colour prints, etc. - as well as the scores themselves. One of them has hand-numbered pages, and both have been bound.
They are a unique insight into Victorian home-life, showing how people enjoyed music in an age before it could be recorded, and were clearly lovingly put-together. A real treasure of a find.
