William Strange (1801-1871) and James Bingley started publishing The Musical Bouquet  from the office in 192 High   Holborn in January 1845, with their illustrator Alfred Ashley (1820-1897) and their editor Francis Lancelott, probably inspired by G.H.  Davidson's similar  publication The Musical Treasury launched in 1844. Bingley had previously collaborated with Ashley in 1843-1844 to publish the two-volume Bingley's   Select Vocalist, an eclectic collection of songs, glees and duets engraved by Bingley from drawings by Ashley. In the hands of Strange and Davidson   the pieces published by The Musical Bouquet were largely pirated from other publishers. Strange sold his publishing business to his son William  Strange Junior on 18th February 1849, but after that date Charles Sheard Senior is associated with The Musical Bouquet. He soon became its   proprietor, increased its production to two pieces a week, and by its height of popularity in the 1860s, to eight copies a week. On his death in 1873   his son Charles Sheard Junior took control of the firm as senior partner and The Musical Bouquet  continued until  1898, after which Charles Sheard   Junior continued publishing music sheets from 192 High Holborn.\r\n\r\nHenry Russell (1812-1890) was an extremely popular baritone, composer and pianist, born in Sheerness, Kent, who made a success on both sides of  the Atlantic with his songs about Negro American life. In one advertisement in The Musical World , 27 September 1844 for an appearance by him at London's Hanover Rooms he was described as 'the American Vocal Illustrator'.
