Paper covers with titles to the upper cover and publisher's advertisement to lower, both with vignette views and enclosing 16 folding panels measuring 210 x 21.2 cm in total, revealing a chart of the railway line between London and Brighton with vignette views and descriptions of notable places of interest en route. Covers dust-soiled and lightly worn at extremities with a few small holes in the spine and 1cm splits in the spine at the head and foot together with a touch of creasing to the corners .
