With 1 folded table, 1 folded lithographed colour map, 4 folded plates, 1 folded plan and illustrations in the text, many of them full-page. IX pp., 1 unnumbered page, 633 pp., 1 unnumbered page, 134 pp. (Business advertisements), plus 3 leaves, 2 of which contain advertisements between pp. 306–(307).

(The cover is scuffed and bumped. The reverse side has a large tear and some text is missing. The pages are generally yellowed. A few small tears at the margins. One large tear on pages 9/10 of the 'Geschäftsanzeiger'.)

In addition to this work, Kunz wrote another book about Chile and the Atacama. In this book, he endeavours to give readers a true picture of Chile. It therefore includes very detailed lists of economic activities, particularly those of the railway companies.
