Antique Image of the Day: The German Prince, 19th C.



The German Prince
Nineteenth Century
The Victoria & Albert Museum


“The German Prince” was written by Albert Hall and  composed by Walter de Frece to be sung by Miss Vesta Tilley in the late Nineteenth Century.  Tilley would have performed the song in her trademark male apparel.  

Here, we see an original color song-sheet of “The German Prince” from the era.  The art is by H.G. Banks.
