Summary: Although printed in Philadelphia, the sheet music on which this illustrated cover appears is clearly Southern in sympathy. Within an ornate acanthus framework is a large palmetto tree, symbol of South Carolina. Beneath the tree, in a hilly landscape, sits a winged female figure playing a harp. Below the main scene is a small vignette of Barhamville, the South Carolina Collegiate Female Institute, near Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1828 by Elias Marks (the author of the lyrics of 'Chicora'; the music was composed by A. Hatschek, another professor at Barhamville), the school was a distinguished institution of higher education for women. Marks left the school in June 1861 and retired to Washington, D.C. The music sheet may have been issued from there.
