In addition to the two different bindings depicted by the exterior covers here, there are four additional sample covers included within the volume, most of which are cloth stamped in bright colors, with one having a printed paper overlay. The illustrations include a number of chromolithographs among the profusion of plates; also present are pages printed in green and red. The blank leaves for subscribers’information are untouched and unused, as are the sample coloring-book pages.
