Note that older books, especially before 1800 or so, were usually sold unbound: when you bought a book you took it to a book binder, who would make a cover to order, usually to match the other books you owned.

Pictures from Cambridge Described by Noel Barwell and Pictured by E. W. Haslehust [1866 – 1949], Blackie & Son Limited, London and Glasgow, in the Beautiful England series (undated).
Although the book is undated, the Library of Congress and various bookseller catalogues mentioning dated inscriptions indicate a date no later than 1920. The illustrations may still be in copyright, since the books were not produced in the USA, so I have marked them as for non-commercial use only.
