Travels into Bokhara: containing the narrative of a voyage on the Indus from the sea to Lahore, ... and an account of a journey from India to Cabool, Tartary and Persia ; performed by order of the supreme government of India, in the years 1831, 32, and 33
Alexander Burnes's 1835 travelogue recounts a British government-ordered voyage up the Indus to Lahore and onward journeys through Afghanistan, Tartary and Persia, written for a European readership. Its plates are engraved views and portraits of Sindh and Cutch natives, the fort at Hyderabad on the Indus, and Ranjit Singh, drawn in fine line with crisp hatching and plain captions, useful to a designer wanting period detail of dress, landscape and boats.
