Seller's Description:
This is a souvenir of a visit to a Coney Island Bowery amusement called
Darkness and Dawn. It was a Cyclorama, and had been created for an
exposition in Omaha, Nebraska in 1898. It was brought to the Coney
Island Bowery at the turn of the century. The souvenir is card stock,
in the shape of a coffin, and has a skull and crossbones illustration at
top. It also has a quote from "The Devil." The same image and text is
printed on both sides (shown). The attraction on the Bowery was
destroyed by fire in 1903, and was rebuilt for Luna Park several years
later.
