Twelve pages of text and (Including the covers) eight thin cardboard pages with color chromolithograph mounted plates. Oblong book about 10 by 7 inches. The author name is not given in the book. The mounted color plates are about 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches and are mounted on the front cover, inside the rear cover and on six interior pages.
