About this scan

Free PDF preserves all 33 original scans: front wrapper, title and 31 two-page spreads covering original pages 2–63. Foreword dated November 1, 1915; edition explicitly identified as Season of 1916.

Inside-wrapper surfaces and rear wrapper were unavailable, so this is not a complete physical facsimile. Native approximately 150 PPI scan limits, uneven exposure, creases and annotations remain. Historical instructions are not current servicing or safety advice. A physical print sample has not yet been reviewed.
