Henry Prentiss (1801–1859) manufactured musical instruments, umbrellas and published sheet music, which he sold from his shop on Court Street in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century.[1][2]
One example of a piece of sheet music sold by Prentiss was a song named Our Country by Hon. George Lunt in 1847.[3]
