Many of his works were made into chocolate-box style postcards in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Illustrated with seventy seven colour plates and a folding map at the rear. Collated, complete. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart. There is some bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities.
