Copy-specific note

Inscription at head of upper endleaf: "2/20".

Copy-specific note

Loose at end, between lower endleaf and lower pastedown, a print of a lithographed portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach signed S. Rosenthal and made by him at 24 Henrietta S^t. Bruns^k [Brunswick] Sq^re., with imprint: London, Ewer & C^os. 72, New-Gate S^t. Samuel Sigismund Rosenthal, usually known as Sigismund, arrived at the Port of London on 6th September, 1847; he was in business at 24, Henrietta Street by 1851 and was still there in 1856; he had removed to 2, Red Lion Square by 1860.

It is likely that this portrait was originally published within: Johann Sebastian Bach's six motetts : in score ... / the English version written ... by W. Bartholomew (London : Ewer & Co., [1850]).
