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 his official journey by order of the Indian government up the Indus to Lahore and on through Cabool, Tartary and Persia, published for a European readership. The pictures are engraved plates: a rotated rocky landscape, a domed brick monument on a mound, a page of ancient coins with a stamp-marked caption, and a bust-length portrait of a man in a turban labelled as Bokhara costume, giving a designer sketchy hatching and classic period plate styles.
