This 1814 copy of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was the first printed edition to combine the words and sheet music. Copies such as these were sold from a catalog of Thomas Carr's Carr Music Store in Baltimore. Currently this is one of only ten copies known to exist, and is housed in the Library of Congress.
