The Dark Girl Dress'd In Blue part 05

Alfred Concanen and T W Lee worked together to produce many sheet music illustrations, Concanen was responsible for the figures and pictures and Lee generally worked on the lettering. Many songs were produced for Harry Clifton (1832-72). He was one of the great stars of the early years of the Music Hall. He wrote all his own words but 'borrowed' most of his tunes from old folk songs. Here he is wearing a riding outfit and holds a whip in his left hand. With his right hand he is raising his hat to a women in a blue dress. In the background is the 1862 Exhibition building.
