An Indian Sketch-Book presents a fascinating visual and literary record of India during the height of the British Raj, with particular focus on the magnificent Great Durbar.

The work captures significant ceremonial events, architectural monuments, and everyday scenes that provide valuable insight into early 20th century India. This hardcover edition serves as both an important historical document and a remarkable example of Victorian-era travel illustration.
