Original - Noble Sissle in 1951, portrait by Carl van Vechten.
 
Part 2 - Cover page for the sheet music to "I'm Just Wild About Harry" from the musical Shuffle Along by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, 1921.
Reason
Another nomination set: a restored portrait of lyricist Noble Sissle and a restored period sheet music cover to one of his most famous songs, "I'm Just Wild About Harry". Noble Sissle was part of a team that broke the color barrier in Broadway theater with the 1921 show Shuffle Along; this was its most popular number and was later selected by President Harry Truman as his election campaign song in 1948. These two files correspond to the featured sound File:Eubie Blake - Just Wild about Harry.ogg for the "A recording, a score, and a portrait" series at Wikipedia:WikiProject Media Restoration.
