Description of a view of the city of Delhi, with an action between Her Majesty's troops and the revolted Sepoys : now exhibiting at the Panorama, Leicester Square ; painted by the proprietor, Robert Burford and Henry C. Selous and assistants, from drawings by Captain Robert Smith
A printed descriptive guide of 1858 published in London by Robert Burford to accompany his Panorama Royal at Leicester Square, explaining a painted view of Delhi during the 1857 action between British troops and rebel sepoys. The pictures are small pages: an advertisement for babies' hoods and cloaks, a panorama title page with a heraldic crest, a sketch of a leather travelling bag with handles, and the cover of the guide itself. For a designer, the crest, the decorative border and the bold capitals of the cover show mid-century Victorian display typography and ornament.
