In-folio, 173 lithographies et chromolithographies, demi-chagrin à long grains rouge à coins, dos et coins frottés, mors fendus. «Kipling's and Buck's vision encouraged use of the latest photographic and reproductive innovations to ensure accurate and attractive illustrations of lasting quality. Griggs and his editorial staff took advantage of that encouragement and of the most current technology to produce exquisite colour chromo- and photo-lithographs bound in leather. Black and white illustrations were also included...No doubt the publisher applied chromo-lithographic technologies from Britain and the continent, but the pages of the Journal also included illustrations resulting from innovative work in the heliogravure and collotype sections of India's own Revenue and Agriculture Department, particularly the offices devoted to the Survey of India.» (Peter H. Hoffenberg, John Lockwood Kipling, W. H. Griggs and The Journal of Indian Art and Industry).
