This specimen book of the publishing and printing house of Sampson , clearly intended for internal use, by the New York establisment ( De Witt ) contains over a thousend illustrations in electrotype of books published by Sampson Low, Marston , Searls and Rivington. The illustrations are numbered by hand in red pencil and are grouped together following their appearence in a publication. E.g. the specimen album starts with the illustrations of ''Albert Jacquemart - History of Ceramic Art, Low, 1873. Other illustrations are from '' Erema'' by R.D Blackmore . ''The Favell Children'' by Ellen Brown...Other titles: British Goblins ; Flammarion's Atmosphere ; Stowe's Geography ; Hutchinson's Summer Holidays ; Pilgrimage of the Tiber ; London Bridge to Lombardy ; The Harz Mountains ; South Australia ( 66 ills.) ; Stanley's Coomassie ; Koldewey's German Arctic Expedition ; Seonee...and many others. At the end of the specimen book the illustrations are printed with their caption. In the first part captions have been added by hand ( red pencil). This is a fine and interesting example of a specimen book illustrating the peak in book illustration in the last quarter of the 19th century when woodcuts were rapidly replaced by electrotypes."‎
