'Turnback Tuesday' features sheet music from Derby Public Library's collection

Turnback Tuesday is showcasing a beautifully illustrated piece of sheet music from the Derby Public Library's large collection.

The artwork on sheet music represents an important, and in some cases, a unique source of information (e.g., showing patriotism, ideas on politics, religion, race, and love.)

These illustrations show the change in dress and fashion and some would advertise a song from a new Broadway musical or movie with a favorite entertainer of that time. Much of the Library’s collection was loaned out to families in Derby to use at home. Just imagine a family gathered around a Sterling Piano enjoying a new piece of music.

Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
