This sheet music, "Minnie Clyde," was created by Winslow Homer in 1857. It features a printed list of popular sheet music titles and a song titled "Minnie Clyde." This piece demonstrates Homer's early artistic endeavors before his success as a painter. The inclusion of printed text within the composition is typical of early sheet music design, making this a fascinating example of 19th-century American print culture.
