Our Land - Sheet Music Cover

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned sheet music cover titled "Our Land". The title is written in large, ornate letters at the top, with the subtitle "A National Song" underneath. Below the title is an illustration of two women in ancient-style dresses. The woman on the left kneels and holds a laurel wreath in her right hand. The woman on the right stands and holds a flag in her right hand and a shield with an American flag design in her left hand. The shield is positioned in front of her waist. Behind the women is a bald eagle on a rock and a building with a dome roof in the distance. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads "Composed and respectfully dedicated to Samuel R. Spinny, Esq. or Geo. W. Bacon. Music by Thomas Comer". Additional text includes the publisher's information: "Published by Oliver Ditson & Co., 277 Washington St. Boston". The background of the image is a light-brown color with darker brown spots.
