A galop song sheet of 1869 by George Leybourne, engraved by Greene and published by Oliver Ditson & Co. in Boston, aimed at parlour pianists who bought popular music. The sheet's engraved cover shows a hot air balloon with two cherubs in its basket, a banner lettered with the composer's name, and a cloud-filled sky, offering a designer a playful Victorian vignette with clean line hatching and bold lettering.
