Lumb'rin' Luke (Silberberg, J. Alexander) is in the public domain. However, I believe the score might have been sourced from Cakewalks, Two-Steps and Trots for Solo Piano by David A. Jasen. According to the description (on Amazon), the scores are direct reproductions from the original sheet music. The typeface of the page header and title seems atypical for original period prints, and the scores usually have a copyright notice at the bottom, which is missing. Does this qualify as a new and copyrightable edition?
