Recently, others have put forth that the illustrations in this book, although long considered to be woodcuts, are in fact relief prints from copperplates taken from the original blocks, which were not strong enough to print from. This copy is in a superb state of preservation, with no foxing and a bright interior. "This little-known book is one of the very few American livres de peintres published as early as the 1920's" (Garvey). This copy signed by Weber under the final illustration.
