Each volume contains a fine frontispiece in sepia photogravure depcting a 'real-life' scene from the text (here they are 'The English Channel from Ridgeway Hill' and 'Wynyard's Gap in A Trampwoman's Tragedy) and a double-page 'Map of the Wessex of the Novels and Poems' made from Hardy's own drawing (now in the Dorset County Museum). 'The Wessex Edition is in every sense the definitive edition of Hardy's work and the last authority in questions of text' (Purdy). Individual volumes are now increasingly hard to find. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. See Purdy, pp.282-6.
