This album contains seventy photographs, sketches and graphics of the leaders, events and places associated with the 1857 war of India's independence.
The most significant parts of the album are the sketches and pictures by those Britishers who actually participated in the war and instantly drew sketches of the events in the midst of fighting. The illustrations have been arranged so as to tell a story. Notes have been added to the captions to help in the proper appreciation of the pictures.
