References to the illustrations will be found in the margins opposite the text.
The number refers to the page and the small letters after it to the appropriate illustration
on that page; thus 189b means illustration (b) on page 189. The captions
give the name of the object illustrated, its location, builder and date, when these are known.
Absence of any of these details means that the information was not available.
