This just showed up on my library's new books shelf. All of the drawings are from Hottenroth (1884) and Racinet (1888). Each section as a brief description of the timeframe along with captioned drawings. Probably not too bad as a basic beginner's book. Definitely not for anyone interested in strict authenticity.
