From page iv of the Publishers' Notice:
Most of the illustrations in this volume have been engraved from original drawings, or daguerreotypes taken for the purpose. The frontispiece is somewhat of a curiosity,
each copy being an
original sun-picture on paper. The great luminary has here entered into direct competition with other artists in the engraving business our readers can judge how well he has succeeded.
