The
Whistler and His Dog; Caprice. 1905
By Arthur Prior New York, New York, Carl Fischer, 1905 Author's Collection |
Sheet music was well established in the United States by the early 1800s. Early music was printed with engraved plates. By the 1840s, chromolithography was used to create illustrated covers. After the Civil War, the sterotype process allowed publishers to mass produce sheet music. It became so popular during this era that it was issued as supplements to newspapers.
