Description
This copy of the song by composer H.L.Burger appears to have been a giveaway by the Martin-Orme Piano Co. of Ottawa, Ont. Look carefully as Little Nemo is pictured twentyone times getting back into bed. Published by Grain Press,Ottawa. --- Winsor McCay (1869-1934) was an American cartoonist and animator who influenced countless others in both media. He is best known for:
Comic strips:
Little Sammy Sneeze (1904),Dream of the Rarebit Fiend (1904-1911),Little Nemo (1905-1914).
Films:
Little Nemo (1911),How a Mosquito Operates (1912),Gertie the Dinosaur (1914),The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918). ---

Little Nemo, whose appearance was based on McCay's son Robert, had fabulous dreams that would be interrupted with his awakening in the last panel.

Very neat piece of history.  Please try and take a good scan of it at some point to preserve this digitally as paper of this era gets so brittle and will eventually become impossible to even handle before it crumbles.  I am going through a lot of that right now with tear sheets from this era.  i get a picture and a scan of it and then put them away knowing they will probably be too brittle in the future to even pick up again so into a mylar they go forever but having been documented well.
