Detailed
Description		    Printed in Prague style typography, instructions in Judeo-German printed in Waybertaytsch type. Blank spaces on lower sections of many pages for illustrations.

Yudlov records this apparent edition complete with copper-plate illustrations. This copy has the captions for the traditional Venice-style copper plate Haggadah illustrations, but with blank spaces where the plates would have been placed. This, therefore, would seem to be a mutant copy, with the plates erroneously or otherwise omitted.
