Front and back cover have stamped/impressed border decoration, and an impressed design of girl in a gazebo with another identical design of a girl adhered over that on the front cover. Twenty-three pages, of off-white wove paper, 21 x 16.8 cm. Drawings are in graphite unless otherwise noted. Pages oriented vertically unless otherwise noted. A small piece of paper has been adhered to the inside of the front cover, perhaps to reinforce a thin spot?
