The sheet-music cover of "Niscona" – a ragtime song, by Canadian female composer, Mollie King; 1905.
I like a few things here: the illustrated typography, and the printing. It's cool how the brownish color looks like it's the substrate, but then but there is white too; so it's unclear whether there's white ink involved, or a whole lot of brown ink.
I am not sure where this is. It's a stock image that's been floating around my archives for years. It looks kind of like some work that Favela Painting, a duo of Dutch artists, has been doing in Brazil. (see below)
Compare the before and after (this is the after), and see some other documentation about the project.

The unknown building: five blocks from my home, in downtown Minneapolis. It's called the Valspar building--a paint company. Fun to see it featured on your blog!
