Notes: Preliminary plate showing a cameo of Queen Victoria appears to be a 'medal-engraving' or 'anaglyptograph', a process whereby "linking the needle on the plate to a needle passing over an uneven surface, a machine was able to convert any object in low relief, such as a medal, into a pattern of printed lines which uncannily suggested the contours of the original object".  For more on this process, see Gascoigne, Bamber.  How to identify prints, 1986, p. 62.

Plate and wood-engraved illustrations within the text are unsigned.
