Striking 1906 Ragtime Two Step with Man-in-the-Moon Cover Art
Oversized early 1900s sheet music is increasingly scarce, as many examples were trimmed to fit albums or frames—often losing original margins and artwork. This Blue Moon Two Step retains its full original dimensions and making it especially desirable for collectors who value authenticity and enthusiasts of ragtime music and vintage Americana.
Published in 1906 by Cincinnati’s H.A. Sturm Music Publishing Company, Blue Moon Two Step by E.M. Cook is a lively ragtime piano composition from the golden age of American popular sheet music. As ragtime surged in popularity between 1895 and 1918, composers like Cook contributed to a thriving culture of syncopated dance music. The two-step format was especially popular in social dance halls and parlors across America.
With its oversized format (13½" by 10½") its whimsical man-in-the-moon cover, this piece captures both the rhythm and visual drama of the ragtime era. The piece has expected age characteristics—foxing, browning, and edge wear—but its condition remains sound.
The ethereal blue-gray imagery of the man-in-the-moon renders this sheet music particularly suitable for framing, offering collectors and decorators an authentic vintage accent with celestial charm and nostalgic appeal.
