    Description

    Attendance ledger for The Melodists' Club, a group of musicians, artists, and other luminaries of the time, who would gather for dinner, then play and listen to musical compositions. This ledger, for the June 26, 1828 meeting, contains thirty-one signatures. Included are: writer William Mudford (1782-1848), singer and artist John Orlando Parry (1810-1879 - so he was only 18 at the time), and journalist William Jerdan. Two signers mentioned in a 19th century article about The Melodists' Club also mention John Parry (possibly John Orlando Parry's father), and a Mr. Jun, who have both signed the ledger, but I cannot locate further information on them.
    These are the signers I could identify. There are many I couldn't, and some of these are likely the signatures of other luminaries of the time.
    4.5" x 15", Good to Very Good condition.
    I have several more Melodist Club ledgers containing different names that I'll be listing as I research and identify the signers.
    I guarantee the authenticity of this ledger. If it fails to pass authentication at any time, return for a full refund, including your shipping costs. I've been buying and selling autographs for 30 years, I was a feature writer for Autograph Collector Magazine in the 1990, and I've been selling on Ebay since 2001.
