Description: Chicago, Nakladem i Drukiem W. Dyniewicza, 1891. First Edition. First American edition presumed (no record of earlier publications); 7 x 5; pp. 3-18; olive-green wraps, printed and ruled in black; small nicks to corners and tips of spine; two thin strips of paper to front wrap chipped; small stamps with the previous owner's name to front wrap and title page; in good to very good condition. Originally compiled and published in Poznan in 1848 (then second and third series in 1854 and 1860) by composer and educator Teofil Klonowski (1805 - 1876), the current edition, containing both scores and lyrics, was aimed at the children of the first wave of Polish immigrants in Chicago. Taking place between 1850 and 1920 and being the largest of three, the immigration was primarily driven by economic changes in Poland, thus it was often referred to as "Za Chlebem" (For Bread).
