A ready-made vintage sheet music junk journal kit of 20 printable sheet music covers from 1843 to 1886, lithographed in Boston and New York for the parlour piano: waltzes, polkas and quick steps, Jenny Lind and Christine Nilsson songs, a ballerina, a cancan, a pet canary, a swing, moonlit lakes, racing yachts, flags and a red-coated militia band. Decorative old lettering and soft lithograph colours make them perfect for music-themed journals, collage, pockets and tuck spots, planners, scrapbooking, card making and tags.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Lithographed sheet music covers (20): about 9 × 12 in up to 11 × 13 in, big enough for A4 / letter prints
