India: its history, climate, productions ; with a full account of the origin, progress, and development of the Bengal mutiny, and suggestions as to the future government of India
An 1857 account of India by Joachim H. Stocqueler, written during the Bengal mutiny and aimed at readers interested in Indian history, climate and its future government, illustrated with small wood-engraved views of Indian fortresses and sites. The pictures show hilltop forts with walls and towers, a horseman on a rocky approach, a fortified town on a river bank, and boats with sails on the water, a set of reference views a designer could use for colonial-era landscapes, fortification silhouettes, or period travel imagery.
