Notes |
The scene illustrates verse four of the song in which 'Joe' is having to extricate himself from an awkward situation; the title of the song comes in the refrain: "A friend of mine down in Pall Mall, The other night said, 'Joe', I'll introduce you to a gal, You really ought to know; She's a widow you should try and win. 'Twould a good match be for you - She's pretty and got lots of tin, And only forty-two. (Fancy forty-two, old enough to be my grandmother, and you know a fella can't marry his grandmother, lots of tin though, and pretty, forty-two, No) 'Not for Joe, Not for Joe', If he knows it 'Not for Joseph', No, no, no, 'Not for Joe'. Not for Joseph, oh, dear no." Arthur Lloyd as 'Joe' is shown with the same broad-collared yellow jacket, cane and top hat that he wears on another cover for the same song, see 1922, 0710.443. The song was first performed in November 1867 and soon arrnaged by other composers as a waltz, gallop, quadrille, etc. See Charlottte Gere and Judy Rudoe, 'Jewellery in the Age of Queen Victoria: a mirror to the a world', London (British Museum Press) 2010, pp. 214-5 (discussing a cravt-pin inscribed 'Not for Joseph'). |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
