This volume was published beginning in the late 19th century, and consisted of loose plates in a hard binding. Many have been broken up, but you can still find complete sets that are not too expensive. I believe various editions had different characters, but this is the only one I have had in my store. There are 24 plates from this book, and I have here two versions: the full page scans, and the cropped images of the figures only, eliminating the huge margins. All have been edited and are well sized for most purposes on the web.
