    Description

    Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

    In the publisher's original orange cloth binding with blind stamping and gilt.

    Fifth edition.

    This copy is fully disbound.

    Illustrated with 40 colour plates. Collated, complete. 

    A satirical and richly illustrated portrayal of British colonial life in India, depicting the routines, pretensions, and eccentricities of a typical Anglo-Indian “station.” It captures scenes of military, domestic, and social life, from mess dinners to tiger shoots, offering both caricature and commentary on empire-era society.

    Captain George Francklin Atkinson (1822–1859) was a British officer in the Bengal Engineers and a talented illustrator and writer.
