This exhibit was on display between November 2012 and early 2013
An original music sheet, "Coronation Scot: Signature Tune of the B.B.C. Paul Temple Serial, Piano Solo by Vivian Ellis", published by (and copyright by) Chappell's of Bond Street, 1948.
This is a one-piece folded sheet, with a front cover page, and three sides of printed sheet music.
The front page has red bands at the top and bottom, with white lettering and a broad white central band with "Piano Solo by VIVIAN ELLIS" in red, and a reproduction of a (pencil?) drawing of a speeding locomotive, uncredited.
Unfortunately, the locomotive depicted is an A4 Class ("Mallard"-type) loco rather than a Coronation Class.
