p_rylandc.jpgAll that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Cliff Ryland from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an American music hall entertainer who has been featured on 7 works published between 1891 and 1898.
Hisr portrait on the left is taken from a 1903 postcard autugraph request.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
