As awful as this volume sounds, it is an acceptable reference copy at the least. Only one other copy known, perhaps two (both in the National Library in London). No text is mentioned in their copy nor seen in this one. Large format lithographs from stone it appears, in greys, no colors. Designs are mostly ornamental floral arrangements or motiffs, many are clean enough as-is to be framed. Very unique, and most scarce. Worth rebinding as a reference on this artist. He is known mostly, it appears, as a photographer and a lithographer.
