No copy of the present work in the BL.

Views show Santa Maura, Prevesa, Corone, Maina, Calamata, Navarino (1), Modone, Napoli di Romania, Patrasso, Lepanto, Corintho and Athene; lacking the plates "Battaglia sotto Calamata" and "Navarino Vecchio". - Slight browning and some waterstaining and worming in places. Remboîtage in 19th cent. red morocco, gilt, spine label and gilt title later.
