Our national music" is a color lithograph from Geo. H. Walker & Co., a Boston firm, and it carries a copyright notice in the name of E.B. Pendlebury of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Dated about 1888, it comes from a period when colored lithographs were widely sold as wall decoration and advertising, and its subject headings point to musicians, composers, singers and conductors. The title presents American music as a shared national possession, a sentiment common in the decades after the Civil War, when concert life, brass bands and choral societies were spreading across the country. The sheet is worth a close look for how it packs a broad idea of music into one decorative image meant for the home or the shop.
