Born the daughter of a humble blacksmith, the model, entertainer, and courtesan Emma Hamilton (née Amy Lyon, 1761) ascended through the ranks of British society to become the mistress to Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson. Following Nelson’s death in battle in 1805, Hamilton sunk deeply into debt, was sentenced to debtor’s prison, eventually fled to France to escape her creditors, and died in poverty. Sheet music for ‘When Time who steals our Years away, as Sung at the Dublin Winter Concerts, Harmonized for 4 Voices,’ from Hamilton’s personal collection, 9.5 x 12.5, one page both sides. Music bears Hamilton’s ownership signature to the top, “Lady Hamilton.” In very good condition, with a central horizontal fold, damp staining to the upper right, multiple dings to the left edge, and a binding sheet affixed to the left edge. Lady Hamilton was very keen on her piano, harp, and music lessons given to her for years in Naples.
