Description
Written and arranged by Sidney Nelson (1800-1862) to commemorate the meeting of Cornishwoman Mary Kelynack with Queen Victoria at the Great Exhibition of 1851. We do not have a copy of the score, as only the frontispiece is digitised and available at the National Portrait Gallery. It is noted that sheet music is attached, so presumably copies may be arranged at a cost.
