This is a small folio of sheet music entitled "Suspension Bridge/ Grand March." The folio has a yellow cover with 8 white pages inside.

Fonda, 72 West Fourth Street." There is a stamp mark in the lower right corner that reads, "G. M. Dawson, 320 Chapel St. New Haven, Ct." The first page is a colorful title page. The Top third of the page reads "Suspension Bridge" in a large orange and tan decorative floral font. Just below this font, there is a image of an orange suspension bridge with a cityscape just under a sunset in the distance. A small steamboat appears to be traveling just underneath the bridge. The colors appear to be yellow, orange, blue and pinks. Just below this image "Cincinnati, O." is written in a decorative font and is surrounded by red and grey filigree. Under this it reads "Boston/ O. Ditson & Co." to the left, "C.Y. Fonda 72 W. 4th ST." in the center, and "Philadelphia/ Lee & Walker" in the right. Just under this line it reads "New York/ W. A.
