| Description | The following manuscript was apparently the property of Hermann Eckersberg. Eckersberg was the bandmaster of the Fourth Royal Irish Dragoon Guards in the late 1830s and 1840s and the manuscript contains his arrangements of marches and other pieces for military band. Colonel T. B. Shaw Hellier was to become Commander in Chief of the regiment some forty years later. The score presumably came into the possession of the family at that time. Eckersberg's German origins are revealed by his idiosyncratic English spelling which is reproduced in the titles transcribed below.
In half leather binding. On spine 'Brass band score Eckersberg'.
