Description

This piece of sheet music is a bifolio with six pages. The cover depicts a young boy in the top left corner wearing a blue uniform, white hat, and holding a sword. An older woman sits to the right of this figure, looking towards him. A photograph of a man labeled “Louis Powers” in a circle-shaped frame is on the top right corner. The title “Mamma’s Boy” is in large white letters on top of a shield that has a wreath around it, white stars on a blue background, and red and white stripes. The bottom right corner features four soldiers wearing blue uniforms firing rifles amongst trees.
