Deems, James M. The Telegraph Quick Step [Sheet Music]
Baltimore F. D. Benteen 1844 Sheet Music Near Fine No Jacket
2 leaves (2 pages of music inside of two blank pages). Once bound in a private volume. "As performed by the Independent Blues Band" and "Respectfully Dedicated to Professor S. P. Morse Inventor of the Electro Magnetic Telegraph." On 24 May 1844, the first telegraph line (between Washington DC and Baltimore) officially opened with the transmission of the test message, "What hath God wrought?" Later that year, Deems composed this piece in honor of the telegraph's inventor, Samuel Finley Breese Morse. Music is clean with very light soiling. Slight wear along one edge where it was previously bound.
