Thanks Barry, I thought that might be what was being referenced, but it really sounded like it might be something different, and I hope that it is. I had just never focused on the "colored illustration" part before, and had never seen color on anything but advertisements in this kind of early book.( the color illustration in the 1864 book is nice, but just one page and not really a reference book like this) ) Funny you mention the 1867 edition as that is the one I have seen the most copies of over the years.
