Item description from seller

Self-wrappers. 8vo, 16 pp. Fair to good condition, two semicircular gaps about half the size of a quarter along spine about where staples might have been, the rims of which appear to be burned, few light curving lines of discoloration on final page. Text intact. Portrait on the front page of Bro. Al. Emmett Fostell, who donated the relics. The exhibition commenced on December 4, 1888. Much Civil War material, also theatrical broadsides and other items as mentioned in the title. WorldCat shows a 1904 exhibition of Lincoln relics organized by Fostell. He was an important member of the Elks, to judge by a biography in a 1910 history of the organization.
