  <dc:title>Little Tommy Tomkins</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Sheet music for piano and voice titled, “Little Tommy Tomkins“ appearing as original front cover and five facsimile pages. Depicted on the cover, in lithograph, is the performer in top-hat, white tie and overcoat. There are two scenes depicted in the background; a clerk working at a desk with the caption, ‘Little Tommy Tomkins at the office (little did “the governor” imagine Tommy’s thoughts were on the St. Leger instead of on his ledgers.’ And a bar scene where we see Tommy leaning against a bar dressed in top-hat and overcoat saying, ‘Now then dear boys &amp; girls. “Shout” I’m in the chair.’ A third inset depicts an inkwell has the caption, ‘With the aid of these two articles Tommy increases his income. But he writes the governor’s name once too often &amp; now he’s grinding up golden corn.’</dc:description>
