CHEVALIER ALBERT .: The Dotty Poet .
London Reynolds & Co 1890's Ornate lettered cover. Folio with music. Albert Chevalier (1861-1923) was originally an actor who was considered to not only faithfully represent the cockney but wrote some of the great songs of the music hall in doing that. Usually he collaborated with Charles Ingle who was his manager and also his brother(real name Auguste Chevalier), however here he appears to have written words and music. The famous writer Colin MacInnes who disliked Chevalier was still forced to admit the skill of his writing and quotes two of this song's verses in his book "Sweet Saturday Night". Condition VG.
