Autograph Musical Quotation Signed ("Haydn Wood"), two bars from his Roses of Picardy, identified and initialled at the top by the composer, and with the lyric below "Ro-ses are shining in Picardy".1 page small 8vo, 5 April 1949.

Haydn Wood composed over two hundred songs and was a noted violinist, but he is remembered today for this well-loved sentimental song of the First World War, composed in 1916 with lyrics by Fred Weatherly.There are minor traces of mounting on the verso, but this is a very attractive musical quotation.
