| Description | Sheet music for piano and voice, titled "The Seventh Royal Fusiliers (A Story of Inkerman)", appearing as three bifold folio sheets (12 pages total). The front cover depicts an old man in military dress sitting in a chair and leaning on a walking stick. He is pointing out with his left hand and looks shocked. Surrounding him are three young children, listening and looking concerned. To the top is an illustration of a military commander on horseback, pointing at a line of soldiers, saying "Who will dare cross the Russian lines?". To the right is an illustration of that same military commander on his horse, looking at three soldiers; one is holding his hat and looking down; one is lying on the floor holding the other soldier who is dying. |
