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\nThis piece was originally sung by the popular English baritone, singer and pianist Henry Russell (1812-1900).","physicalDescription":"Music sheet for <i>Land Ho!</i> with a central illustration of a steamship with rigged sails and two vignettes either side, one of women and children wavibng the ship goodbye and the other of a couple withy a small girl on board ship","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Russell, Henry","id":"N6595"},"association":{"text":"composers","id":"AAT25671"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Musical Bouquet Office","id":"AUTH327624"},"association":{"text":"publishers","id":"AAT25574"},"note":"Published as number 453 in The Musical Bouquet series"}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[{"text":"printing","id":"AAT53319"},{"text":"lithography","id":"AAT53271"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Lithograph, intermediate pages composed of printed text","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Boats and ships","id":"THES260021"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2014HC6277"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES356697"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"sheet music","id":"AAT26430"}],[{"text":"prints","id":"AAT41273"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1845","earliest":"1845-01-01","latest":"1845-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":"Published as number 453 in The Musical Bouquet series"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Gabrielle Enthoven Collection","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"34.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"front cover","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"24.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"front cover","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Music sheet for <i>Land Ho!</i> composed and sung by Henry Russell (1812-1900), poetry by George P.
