Object Details
- Description
- This sheet music is for the song “The Last Time I Saw Paris.” The lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein and the music was composed by Jerome Kern. The sheet music was published by the T.B. Harms Company of New York, New York in 1940. The cover features an illustration of a silhouetted woman as well as images of Paris floating across the cover. There is an inset photograph of Hildegarde sitting at a piano, which notes that the song was “introduced and featured by Hildegarde,” meaning that she had been performing the tune at shows and clubs, and now her image was being used to sell the sheet music.
