This is set no. 110 of 877 issued with an original woodblock: 'Part the Third', from The Battle of Life, drawn by R. Doyle. With the signed letter of authentication from Chapman & Hall publishers, and an additional covering letter from the Nonesuch Press, explaining to Mr Paley Scott, the original recipient of the set, the procedure for allocating steel plates and woodcuts.
