Printed Ephemera — 1873-1899
The old log cabin in the lane
Sheet music for 'The old log cabin in the lane' sung by Ted Snow of the Mohawk Minstrels. The sheet music cover is illustrated with a depiction of the Minstrel dressed in brightly coloured clothes.
The Mohawk Minstrels were formed by the brothers William and James Francis. From 1873 they performed, nightly at the Berners Hall, adjoining the Agricultural Hall in Islington. Within three years their phenomenal success and popularity necessitated a move to the larger, nearby St Mary's Hall where they performed nightly to sell-out audiences of up to 3000. In 1900 they took over the Moore and Burgess troupe at St James' Hall Piccadilly and became known as The Mohawk, Moore and Burgess Minstrels.'
