8vo, pp. 12, 2; key consisting of a wood-engraved circular anamorphic-style image on folding plate measuring 40 × 31 cm; apart from a few light marks, a clean fresh copy throughout; in recent marbled wraps.
At the foot of the key Barker 'respectfully informs the Public, that, in order to give a correct Representation of the Battle of Waterloo, he went to Paris, and from the Officers at Headquarters, procured every possible Information on the Subject. A set of Eight Etchings, from his original Sketches of the Field of Battle, is published, executed by Mr. J. Burnet; and may be had at the Panorama; price One guinea'.
At the end of the main text are proposals by Messrs Boydell & Co. for a 'national print' of the Battle of Waterloo by John Burnet after Atkinson, and Devis.
