Albert Chevalier was a celebrated British music-hall star of the Victorian era, famous for his cockney songs and character work. 'My Old Dutch' is his most famous number, a cockney ballad of 1892. This His Master's Voice D373 pressing is from the early classical/voice series, probably 1920s–1930s, but may be a re-pressing of an earlier acoustic recording.
