Additionally, the text at the bottom left and right will only be block and a different font than 1st edition block font The plates, measure approximately 10.5" x 6.5". They bear the same legend as the Havell edition except that in the lower right-hand corner, J.T. Bowen or other later printers are shown as the lithographer.
