You'd Be Surprised
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and playful sheet music cover from the 1910s, featuring the iconic song composed by the legendary Irving Berlin. The cover, designed by Herman Darewski, showcases a couple in an unexpected and humorous moment, as they take a step together on a dance floor, unaware of the chaos that ensues behind them. The black and white image, published in London in 1919, depicts a man and woman dressed in fashionable attire of the era, with the woman's elegant dress trailing behind her as they take their first step in a dance. The man wears a dapper suit and hat, while the woman's expression is one of surprise and delight. The background of the cover is filled with a whimsical scene of a dog and cat playing on a ladder, which is precariously balanced on the edge of a step. The falling objects and the expressions of surprise on the faces of the dog and cat add to the playful and lighthearted mood of the image. The title of the song, "You'd Be Surprised," is written in bold yellow letters at the top of the cover, with the composer's name, "Irving Berlin," and the lyricist's name, "Sam M. Lewis and Joe McCarthy," written below. The price for the sheet music is listed as "6d," which was the currency symbol for shillings in the UK at the time. This charming and timeless cover is a testament to the enduring appeal of Irving Berlin's music and the playful spirit of the 1910s. It is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era and a reminder of the power of music to bring joy and surprise to our lives.
