Internally some light spotting, but generally quite bright and clean. A total of two-hundred and twenty-two nature plates, including four additional titles with nature-printed vignette and one uncoloured plate.

Books published by Bradbury and Evans and those projected ... dominated the field" (Cave, Impressions of Nature, page 105). Nissen BBI 1002
