A Tribute to the Grave of Professor Staggins

According to Wikipedia and the Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900 Professor Nicholas Staggins (died 13 June 1700) was Master of the King's Music and Professor of Music at Cambridge University. In Tom Brown's Letters from the Dead to the Living, Staggins is described as "bandy legged and contemptuously regarded", and his musical ability is generally regarded to have been slender.

This work is undated, but from the style of the notation and calligraphy it may be 1940s or 50s.
