Sheet music for piano, four hands, entitled "Southern Flowers" and "Daisy Polka," composed by S. Schlesinger in 1861. Published in Mobile, Alabama by Joseph Bloch at 55 Dauphin St. Includes a full-page advertisement by the publisher. This piece is notable for being composed by a Jewish composer and published by a Jewish music publisher during the Civil War. Sigmund Schlesinger, born in Germany in 1835, emigrated to America at age 25 and settled in Mobile, Alabama a year later, a city with a growing Jewish community. He carried a letter of introduction to Joseph Bloch, one of the first music teachers in Alabama.
