🎶New display: Dover Choral Union 🎶 In 1913, Harry James Taylor, the first conductor of #Dover Choral Union, was presented with a "coming of age" souvenir book filled with concert programmes to celebrate his 21st year in that role.

A black-and-white ink illustration serving as a program cover from 1904 drawing from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts design.
The central figure is a musician wearing long, flowing robes that drape down to her feet. She is playing a double horn instrument. She is framed by roses, thorny vines, and leaves.
There are two stylized, unfurling banners rest within the rose canopy above the female. The left banner reads "TRIENNIAL" and the right banner reads "MUSICAL FESTIVAL." At the very top, set inside a separate horizontal scroll border, the word "DOVER" is written in large, heavy, stylized block lettering. Either side of the central figure are the words "PROGRAMME" (on the left) and "4th MAY 1904" (on the right) written down the sides in an angled script. At the bottom of the vines is the monogram A.J.D 1904.
