Dealer Notes
When first published, with a different title page, this work contained at least 23 more illustrations. Quickly withdrawn it was then re-issued in this 'version' with the images of Germans and 'unclothed' Pacific Islanders removed. This copy lacks the folding leaf of plates. The 129 'plates' which are present are not nunbered and collate with the text. Stubs of the excised illustrations can be seen but a totally accurate total for the excised illustrations is difficult, perhaps 25? See Bibliography: Bagnall T.708-9.
