Made up of four sepia photographs, each roughly 7 cm square, laid down overlapping each other to make a strip of 7 x 27 cm. Somewhat faded (especially to the right of the image) and with one small stain, and a one cm closed tear to the left. The paper on which the panorama is laid down, which is captioned in a contemporary hand, is somewhat grubby and chipped.

Pamphlet, [12]pp., 8vo, formerly sewn but thread missing, hence leaves loose, good condition.

Clearly refers to a high society Regency scandal, possibly that concerning the Duke of York and Mary Anne Clarke.
