The prints are not bound and housed a cover that has a title and prints by Cantú on the front and back. On the front is the Virgin and Child and on the back the ex libris of García Lecuona. Each print by Cantú is preceeded by a sheet of transparent paper stamped with a title and the date of the print. Some of these dates do not correspond with those on the engraved plates.
