Description
New York: Wm. A. Pond, 1865. Folio, 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Fine condition. Fine. An unusual use of sheet music as satire, with the lithographed cover showing a fake stock certificate. The cover - engraved by Major & Knapp - advertises an ownership share in the Spondolix Petroleum company and states that F.B. Helmsmuller, who was actually a noted composer, was the “Treasurer and General Manager” of the company. This is a particularly fine example of the piece. In our research we found several references to this piece as being a real stock certificate for a real company, however this is clearly a parody of the oil business. This was printed in 1865, when the Pennsylvania oil industry was booming, and the engraved illustration appears to show a countryside scene in Pennsylvania or somewhere similar. Four copies in OCLC.

Description
New Orlean: Imprimerie de Propagteur, 1871. 8 pp. Wraps soiled and show minor edge wear. OCLC locates 17 copies but none in auction records or online for sale. Rouquette (1813-1887) was born outside New Orleans to a French father and a Creole mother. He spent his childhood with local Choctaw friends and went on to attend college in Kentucky and France before becoming a priest in New Orleans. He left his position in New Orleans in 1859 and spent the remainder of his life ministering to Choctaw communities along Lake Pontchartrain. He and his siblings were poets, and this one of the few published works by Rouquette who signs his poem with his Choctaw name Chahta- Ima.
