DescriptionSheet music for piano and voice, titled "Jemmy Riddle.", appearing as two bifold folio sheets (8 pages total). The front cover depicts Fred French standing in a pie shop with a brown coat, black trousers, and black top hat. He is holding a plate with food on in one hand, and is wearing a black glove in the other. There is a black umbrella leaning next to him. He is looking at the woman behind the counter, who is wearing a blue and white striped dress with a red belt and red bow at her neck, who is handing a plate of food to a man sitting at a table in front of her. This man is wearing a long brown coat, a shiny black top hat, and a checked scarf. He is sitting with one hand on his hip and the other on his cutlery on the table. Next to him on the floor is a fiddle case, with a lable "J. Riddle". Outside the shop are passersby who are pointing at the food in the window. Outside the door is a small dog barking inside.
NotesThere are small tears throughout the document, especially near the binding.
There are small patches of discolouration throughout.
