Most of the photogravures have tissue-paper barriers attached along one edge. Published by the Plimpton Press of Norwood, Massachusetts. The 1935 volume contains a list of the illustrations contained in the 1911 work plus text. The frontispiece is a full-color photogravure on tissue paper captioned "Navel - Amulets - Piegan". There are a solid $8,000 worth of images here.The color frontispiece is, in fact, part of Volume Six from 1911.
