Love, Moonlight, and Ragtime Magic
 
Step back into a dreamier time with this authentic 1913 sheet music for “You and the Moon and a Ragtime Tune”—a romantic, lilting melody that perfectly captures the gentle sentimentality and syncopated charm of the early ragtime era.
 
The cover art is nothing short of enchanting: a man and woman locked in a tender embrace beneath a glowing moon—its face serene and watchful, casting its silver gaze down upon them. The illustration is rich with vintage detail, framed by elegant early 20th-century typography that gives the title a lyrical, almost spellbound presence.
 
Inside, the music itself is laid out for voice and piano, complete with lyrics that blend courtship, whimsy, and the rhythm of the ragtime age. It's a love song for warm nights and starlit dances—when all you needed was a partner, a piano, and a little moonlight.
 
A gorgeous piece for collectors, musicians, or anyone who appreciates the art and romance of early American music. It would look fantastic in a frame!
 
Condition:
The inner music page has gracefully separated from the cover—a common and expected occurrence in sheet music of this age—but both parts remain intact and display beautifully. Some minor edge wear and light aging present, adding to its antique charm.
