1901 Black Americana sheet music - OH! OH! MISS CAROLINE or HONEY MAKE THIS WORLD SEEM BRIGHT FOR ME

words by Harry J. Breen

music by T. Mayo Geary

published by Howley, Haviland & Dresser

cover features caricatures of an African-American couple cuddling on an apartment balcony and (presumably a few moments later) the couple tumbling down as the balcony breaks. Also featured on the cover is an inset photo of Genaro and Bailey

The lyric tells a serio-comic story of forbidden love: a young African-American man climbing up to the balcony of the girl he loves and  serenading her, despite the disapproval of her father.

Condition is good-very good. A little chipping and some tiny tears and folds on the upper edge. A couple miniscule tears on the right and left edge. Spine intact. Music complete.
