This vintage sheet music is called "Golliwogs at Play" and was written by Maxwell Eckstein. It was published by Harold Flammer, Inc. in 1938. The cover shows golliwogs (elf-like) playing around a quarter moon and stars. The music is an instrumental piece. A fun, intermediate piece for recital or entertainment or framing!
A golliwog is a controversial rag doll character and image widely considered a racist caricature of Black people. It was created by cartoonist and author Florence Kate Upton, which appeared in children's books in the late 19th century, usually depicted as a type of rag doll. The golliwog, also spelled golliwogg or shortened to golly, is a doll-like character.
The sheet music is in good condition: some edge wear; wear to the front cover; looks coffee spilt on 4th, 5th and back cover; gold star on 1st page of song. Otherwise, no writing, torn, missing or repaired pages. It is odor free. Suitable for framing or a playing copy. Satisfaction guaranteed.
