The rebellion of 1857 produced a spate of publications, many of which were illustrated books and prints after sketches by army officers. Dodgson, of the Bengal Infantry, was assistant adjutant-general with Henry Havelock at the relief of Lucknow. The present set of lithographs show panoramic views of the city, Claude Martin's villa, the Dilkusha Palace built by Sa'adat Ali Khan, and the British residency. The Great Imambara, described by Dodgson as the architectural gem of Lucknow, is also included.

First edition; folio (55.5cm x 39.5cm. approx.), lithographed plan of Lucknow, tinted lithograph title with vignette, 27 tinted lithograph views on 11 sheets by Edmund Walker after sketches by the author, a little light spotting to title and elsewhere, green cloth-backed yellow glazed printed boards, boards rubbed, corners worn, a very good copy.

Abbey (Travel), 489.
