DescriptionSheet music for piano and voice titled “To him of the absent mind” appearing as two folio sheets (4 pages total). The cover depicts, in lithograph, a battle scene with a team of soldiers operating a field cannon. In the foreground, in front of the cannon, a soldier lies injured on the ground, half-sitting, his head cradled in the hand of a comrade who’s other hand holds a water bottle. The soldier kneels beside the fallen man with a look of grave concern while the other stares ahead in vacant fear.
NotesBoth folios have a number of small tears at the edges and there are many tape repairs.
