This book is the remnaNTS of a banner composed of signatures singed on silk; in some cases, part of the costumes the signers wore in famous roles. Blanche Chapman Ford of Ford's Theatre, Washington D.C. was the original conceptor and embroiderer. It was never completely finished and fell into my hands since 1880.
