This sheet music for the song “Happy Thoughts Schottische” was written and composed by J. Albert Snow, and published by Evans and Bro. of Boston, Massachusetts in 1882. The cover notes that the song was written “to my friend, George F. Janes, Esquire.” The cover features an image of a forlorn looking woman sitting on a tree branch. All the text is framed by a geometric pattern around the edges.
