WorldCat records four copies worldwide (Oxford, Harvard, Virginia, and Indiana University Libraries). 1897 marked the first time a British monarch had celebrated a 60th anniversary on the throne, making this publication a record of a historic, unprecedented event. This publication was one of Goode Brothers' penny lines sold by the London street vendors and is interesting for its illustrations but aimed at an increasingly literate general population. Dramatic illustrations made the penny miniature books the precursors to penny dreadfuls and modern comics.
