It is copiously annotated with further details and notes and many of the photographic plates have original photographs annotated by Byron on the versos laid in. William S. Reese once owned a cache of literary papers from Byron's close friend and biographer, Christopher Sykes. These were mostly donated to the Beinecke Library at Yale, except for a few items such as this.Octavo. Illustrated with photographic plates. 11 corresponding original photographs laid in. Separate sheet of manuscript annotations paper-clipped to p. 54 (some paper clip rust stains here and elsewhere). Original cloth (rubbed, text block cracked, one leaf loose and laid in).
