Bound in full leather stamped "Stanley" with shield and eagle decoration on the front cover, with wear to the extremities. The spine has been expertly rebacked in full leather to match the original. The hinge of the page containing the Stanley photograph has been repaired almost invisibly, not affecting the photograph or the text. There is minor to moderate foxing scattered throughout.

There are five photographic portraits of the officers of the Advance Command of the Expedition, each of which is signed by the officer in the top margin above the photograph. The book is additionally signed on the front and rear endpaper by 23 attendees of the banquet event. The text includes the menu of nine courses served on May 30th, 1890 including "Babas a la Stanley" for entrements. It was a lavish event, held in the Portman Rooms, with the Band of the Grenadier Guards played 10 songs. At this event, Stanley was presented with a massive testimonial shield and medallions wrought in fine silver by Elkington & Co. The shield was designed by Henry Solomon Wellcome, who apparently organized this banquet event. Wellcome's new tabloid medicines in the form of "nine beautiful chests replete with every medicament necessary to combat the endemic diseases peculiar to Africa" accompanied the expedition, and there were several pharmaceutical colleagues in attendance at the event.
