687 pages, folding wood-engraved frontispiece of Victoria Falls and 2 other wood-engraved plates by Whymper at pages 66 and 225 replacing the lithographic frontispiece and plates in variants 1 & 2, portrait of the author, 41 wood engraved plates and other illustrations, 1 folding plan, 2 folding maps by Arrowsmith, 1 in pocket in the back cover, recent half maroon morocco with matching cloth boards, titled gilt on the spine, a very good copy.

Bradlow variant 7. The variant number is perhaps misleading as this variant is likely to be the first variant issued with the more easily printed wood-engraved plates. It does not have the extra page 8* and + and it is with the eight pages of publisher's advertisements at the end which are dated November 1, 1857.
