<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Steam powered lithographic printing became increasingly popular and convenient. The ease of which a lithographic print could be transferred, and the speed at which they could be printed with steam power made lithographs a practical method. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The illustrations don't have a uniform appearance. Some look like soft-ground etchings while others have the softness of crayon manner engravings. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The illustrations are few and always in black and white with a frame around them, with the exception of one colored image at the beginning of the book. The images are always relevant to the story and sometimes have a detailed caption explaining the image.
