ST. JAMES INFIRMARY NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FUNERAL POSTER

I went down to St. James Infirmary,
Saw my baby there,
She was lying' on a long white table,
So sweet, so cold, so fair.

Went up to see the doctor
"She's very low," he said;
Went back to see my baby;
Great God! She was lyin' there dead.

Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch-chain,
So the gang'll know I died standing pat.

Take a look at this Funeral Jazz Band of skeleton ghouls. Their raucous music is just a raising hell as they roll along.

This poster is 17 inches wide by 22 inches high, generous black ink lushly printed on parchment stock.

PLEASE NOTE: This poster image was hand drawn by Madame Talbot using nothing more than pen and ink on illustration board.

After the poster was completed, it was taken to a real printer and printed on an offset printing press.

Absolutely no computers were used in the making of this poster, all of it was drawn entirely by hand.

The copyright notice is on the website image only and not on the printed poster.
