Octavo, bound in full pebbled morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, central gilt emblem and fleuron cornerpieces within triple gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, decorated with a concealed fore-edge painting of a maritime scene, illustrated with one hundred and thirty engravings.

The technique was practiced by a few other English binders in the late 18th and 19th centuries, and a certain number of undoubted examples survive.…
