Original decorative wrappers pasted over blind self-wrappers as issued; 8 pp. Wrappers illustrated with a pochoir pattern black and silver dots on yellow stock. Numerous small vignettes in the text.

The same text was issued in several wrapper variants each decorated by hand using different patterns most likely using the pochoir technique.
