J. H. Hurst
Last updated: 09.06.25
All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about J. H. Hurst from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an English music hall comedian who has been featured on 7 works published between 1895 and 1901. His portrait on the left is taken from This Is Bliss (1896) words & music by Norton Atkins, and published by Howard & Co., London, England.

The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
