Emmett, Dan. (Daniel) D. I Wish I Was In Dixie's Land [Sheet Music]
New York Firth, Pond & Co. 1860 First Edition Sheet Music Very Good
Very nice example of Emmett's classic, published after the extremely rare New Orleans southern printings. "Written and Composed expressly for Bryant's Minstrels." "Arranged for the Pianoforte by W. L. Hobbs." No mention of guitar on cover. Last page shows Firth & Pond advertisement No. 1, 1860. This format has been long considered to be the first authorized edition, however some maintain that the 'first' authorized printing by Firth, Pond & Co. had no advertisements on the rear cover (see Fuld, Book of World Famous Music, and Dichter/Shapiro, Early American Sheet Music). Others have stated that the copyright date on the front cover of the 'first' authorized printing was originally and mistakenly shown as 1858 (see Christie's Sale 2011, Lot 23, 12 June 08). The precedence of the three printings has not been definitively established. Previously bound in a private album, so some glue along the left edge. Clean pages with light foxing. Second leaf slightly (1/8") trimmed along fore-edge. No rips or tears.
