There are at least 3 variations of images in this album, as I remember it, different views with the same title. But it is great to see the whole thing easily accessible. The images are also on the UP photo gallery site, but not as a separate set of images, just intermixed with the imperial views. Descriptions etc were not included.
I own this book, does anyone know what its value might be or whom would be interested in purchasing it?
