Single long leaf of light cardstock about 6.5x35 inches long recto printed with heavily glazed b&w lithos and folded to 6.5x3.25 inches; images at either end are laid down on stiff cloth boards which enclose the concertina'd views. Upper boards is decorated with lady showing one breast and a cupid clutching a US shield-thingie.

The scenes are exclusively of buildings little sailing craft negotiating the lagoon-grid one armored gunboat and trees with people shown as dots. the exposition; Printed in Germany unknown books
