Williams, Warwick. Topsy-Turvy Quadrilles. London: Francis Bros. & Day, Blenheim House, Oxford Street, W. [1887] First edition. Lithographed color front cover by Thomas Packer from a drawing of W. Spalding of pixies making mischief, turning things upside down. [cover (i); 9 pages] 32.7 cm. Pencil pagination above printed page numbers indicate it was once bound in an album. There is a penciled initial of “B.G.D.” on the front cover, as well as a music retailer’s stamp for Grant in Edinburgh. The top and bottom edges are slightly trimmed, and the lower right-hand corner was trimmed to prevent tearing when this music was bound in an album. Condition of this rare and striking color lithograph cover is good. One other copy was found at the British Library.
