Unpaginated oblong folio in 11x14 inch pebbled dark cloth boards titled gilt texts printed alternately in blue and sepia inks with b&w photoillustrations an elaborate production. Most photos are of landscapes urban profiles and railway land and appear to have been reproduced from the negative: these are clear and detailed.
