- Male Voice Quartet: Features named singers Messrs. R. Cochran, A. Neill, H. P. Southward, and F. E. Barter performing “The Catastrophe” and “Dear Little Shamrock.”

Condition

- Edges: Natural edge softening, minor handling crinkles, and tiny corner creases typical for loose ephemera leaves.
- Notes: The printing remains sharp, dark, and highly legible. No heavy stains, ink marks, or large tears are present.
