London: George Routledge & Sons, 1873. Stiff Wraps. Orig. illustrated wrappers. Very good. 24.5 x 19 cm. Each with eight color plates signed in the plate with the artist's monogram and engraved on wood by Edmund Evans. Originally published anonymously, these pamphlets proved so popular the public demanded to know the artist.
