Illustrated with 32 black & white original photos tipped on to stiff board pages Pages are not numbered and book is not dated. We believe this is a first edition from the 1870's, probably 1875. The book is in excellent condition for its age. The cover and spine still have good gilding on the titles and designs. The spine and binding is in good condition, though there is a tear along the spine about three inches from the bottom and is loosely attached to binding along the right side (of the spine). pages are in excellent condiThere is shelf wear and some chipping at corners and along edges of the covers.

(see photos). .
