This is sheet music, not a penny dreadful. The document contains two songs: "The Rosary" with words by Robert Cameron Rogers and music by Georgia B. Welles (1903), and "Mine" with music by Alfred Solman (1917). "The Rosary" appears to be a sentimental parlor song, while "Mine" is a ballad advertised as expressing a devotion-themed sentiment ("when the dawn is breaking / in my dreams at night / when the birds are waking / when the stars are bright"). Both are popular songs published by Joe Morris Music Co., marketed for home piano performance and general music lovers.
