- Illustrated with 158 chromolithographs plus an added chromolithographed title page in each volume.
One hundred and nine of the chromolithographs were produced by Francis Bedford and his assistants, including J. Sliegh and J.A. Vinter; others were executed by the artists permanently attached to the establishment of the publisher. See page xi.
"It was originally intended to divide the work into thirty-eight parts, each containing four plates, to be delivered to the public at intervals of a fortnight. The work was also issued in five divisions, each comprising eight parts; and, in order to render these divisions of equal extent, it was found necessary to increase the number of parts to forty, embracing the whole, 160 plates. The first number appeared on the 1st of October, 1851, and the last will have been published on the 7th of March, 1853."--Page xi.
