Description
The work presents an extraordinarily broad survey of the Indian subcontinent: its geography, peoples, religions and ancient kingdoms; the Mughal Empire; European trading powers; the rise of the East India Company; Mysore, the Marathas, Punjab and the Sikh Wars; British expansion; and finally the events surrounding the uprising of 1857. Its greatest visual appeal is the extensive series of Victorian steel-engravings and historical maps, depicting Indian rulers, military figures, battles, monuments, religious ceremonies, cities and major events. ♛━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♛ ◇ By E.
