It is with some surprise that I admit that I actually went through and
looked at all 806 of the Victorian era sheet music covers in Reading
University's Spellman Collection via the wonderful Arts and Humanities
Data Service (AHDS) Visual Arts University College, UK. The vast
majority are described as 'humorous' and quite a few are really funny.
Never let it be said that Victorian Britain did not have a sense of
[DEL: humour :DEL] the ridiculous.
Put 'Spellman Collection' in the image search box - results are
thumbnail pages.
