Map endpapers reveal a two-page spread of "A View of Halifax 1750". Emerald green cloth boards with bright gilt title print to spine. Bottom edge of boards show minor cloth bubble. Brief gift inscription to half-title page. Wrap-around jacket painting of Halifax harbour by John O'Brien, circa 1850, photographed by MacAskills Studios.
