The original work was published between 1866 and 1870 in twenty-one parts in a limited edition of an uncertain number. The original plates were executed by Diggles. His niece, Rowena Birkett, was the artist who hand-coloured each plate. This facsimile limited edition reproduces the original accurately. This volume contains the plates from parts 15-21 from the original. This alike with the original has become scarce.
