Sheet music for "Monterey, a Military Rondino," by John Conrad Viereck. with a lithograph print cover by Albert Newsam (a deaf, mute portaitist and lithographic artist who worked for P. S. Duval in Philadelphia). In Newsam's cover illustration, a family gathers in a parlor to listen as two seated children play the piano. This sheet music is intended for two performers to be playing at the same time, so at the top of each page it says either "Secondo" or "Primo" so that each pianist knows which notes to play. This particular number is one of six in the Parlour Duet series. [See Wendy Wick Reeves, "Portraits for Every Parlor: Albert Newsam and American Portrait Lithography," in American Portrait Prints: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual American Print Conference (Charlottesville: Univ. of Va. Press, 1984), 83-134.]
