This collection compiles popular songs performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and other public venues during a period when music and song were integral to both theatrical and social life in London. Drury Lane, under the management of figures like David Garrick (17471776), was a major centre for theatrical music, including comic opera, interludes, and songs woven into plays and performances. J. Pitts (John Pitts) was a prominent London street ballad printer active from approximately 1765 to 1844. He operated in the Seven Dials district, a well-known center for popular and cheap print production in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Pitts specialized in printing broadsidessingle sheets featuring ballads, songs, and topical versesintended for mass public consumption. 10cm x 7cm.
