This printed sheet music, "El cancionero popular, num. 21" (The Popular Songbook, No. 21), was created by Mexican artist Manuel Manilla in the late 19th century. The artwork, likely a page from a larger collection of songbooks, features a song titled "El Encanto de un Vals" (The Charm of a Waltz). The piece highlights the rich musical tradition of Mexico with its poetic lyrics and decorative floral embellishments, showcasing a common element in the visual arts of the 19th century. This page would have been enjoyed by a wide audience seeking both entertainment and a glimpse into the romanticism of the waltz genre.
