Elizabeth Shippen Green, Illustration, “To All You Ladies” (c. 1900-1920)

I was watching The Antiques Roadshow (one of my very FAVORITE shows) and the appraisal of this work of art by Elizabeth Shippen Green.  In the appraisal, you can clearly see the music on the spinet’s music stand is the song “To All You Ladies.”  It’s Singable Art and very charming, too!

This link includes information about the work and a video of the appraisal.

Through a little serendipity and the website Pinterest.com, I ran across where this illustration was printed,

For a poem called, “The Green Singing-Book,” a poem by Josephine Preston Peabody, which you can read (and see the above image) on the Project Gutenberg website:
