- The illegible signature of the draughtsman is on the stone. The song was a smash hit in 1867, whence the proposed date, though it could be a later edition. A cravat-pin in the Hull Grundy Gift in the BM bears the title of this song (see 1979,1002.466).
For further information about Arthur Lloyd and the song, see C. Gere and J. Rudoe, 'Jewellery in the Age of Victoria. A Mirror to the World', London 2010, pp. 214-5.
For another cover sheet for this song, representing the story told in one of the verses, see 1982,U.1186.
