Description
The book recounts the history and significant moments of the revolt of 1857. It has sixty-three visuals (full page) accompanied by descriptions. These cover events, individuals, and monuments related to the rebellion. Based on Campbells A Narrative of the Indian Revolt from its outbreak to the capture of Lucknow, 1858, the volume selects illustrations concerned with people, leaders, symbols, monuments, and events of insurrection at various storm centres. Cross-checking this source material with other contemporary records, the editor also brings in valuable annotations where required. An introduction by S.P. Verma underlines the background and contours of the rebellion and put the visuals in their historical perspective.
