Publisher's leather binding, gilt title lettering & cover decorations. Accordion style fold out lithographed views.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding rubbed and age worn, gilt cover still mostly clean and pleasantly reflective although embossed relief designs are scuffed, tips slightly worn down, spine covering lacking, minor signs of handling but nothing offensive or severe, remains overall quite attractive as a late 19th century tourist souvenir.

Paper is gently toned, internally still well preserved, tight, sound, long strip of views still sound and attached.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
