- The plates ("large illustrations") consist of 2 chromolithographs, signed "Vincent Brooks, chromolith."; 4 "woodcuts" (i.e. wood engravings) by J. Cooper after P. Justyne, with fawn tinted background; and 14 photographs, all ca. 12 x 9 cm, mounted. The 70 "small illustrations", all in text, consist of wood engravings (many by Justyne and Cooper) and woodcuts.
- The photographs, by Cundall and Fleming, are found in at least two forms: as albumen prints (as described by Gernsheim and found in Fogg Museum Fine Arts Library copy, seen via Google Books); or as Woodburytypes, mounted on leaves within a printed frame, with imprint at extreme foot: Printed by the Woodbury Permanent Photographic Printing Company, Hereford Lodge, Hereford Square, S.W. (as found in Brown University Library copy).
- "List of photographs on a large scale, published by the Architectural Photographic Association, for 1867, all of which are referred to in this work ... photographed by Cundall and Fleming": p. [xv]. This set of 22 albumen prints, though designed to accompany the book, is relatively rarely found with it, and is not mentioned by Gernsheim.
