Henry Rowley Bishop was one of the foremost musical composers of his day. He collaborated with John Howard Payne on the operettas that Payne wrote the lyrics for, while Bishop wrote the music, including the music to the song “Home, Sweet Home.” Clari, the operetta this song was written for, appeared in 1823, so the song most post-date 1823, but there is no date or publication information on the sheet. Paper production changed by the mid-1870s, so the type of paper is used to estimate a date here.
