Description
[Hamilton, Ontario, 1902. About very good.. [4]pp., on a single folded folio sheet. Illustrated. Minor wear, old fold, a few short closed tears, one longer closed horizontal tear at spine fold, even toning. With two small ink stamps on front cover advertising a 1904 performance. A very rare and visually appealing promotional for the Famous Canadian Jubilee Singers and Imperial Orchestra just after the turn of the 20th century. The front cover is decorated with a large group portrait surrounded by floral decorations. The remaining three pages contain a wealth of information on the group and its activities, including the artists in the group, the nature of their program, numerous press notices from Canada, England, and the U.S.A., and more. The final page, under the title "Black but Comely," touts the talents of four soloists for the Jubilee Singers, namely Marie Dorsa, C.H. Francis, S.R. Overstreet, and F.N. Warner, with a portrait of each inside a six-pointed star. Two other photographs on the second page also picture quartettes within the group, which include the four soloists and a couple of other performers including the proprietor of the group, W. Carter. The ink stamps on the front cover advertise a performance by the collective at the Congregational Church in South Royalton, Vermont on Friday, January 1, 1904. We found just one other copy in OCLC, at the University of Vermont, which also exhibits a notice regarding a local Vermont performance.
