Through India and Burmah with pen and brush

The author records impressions and painted sketches from journeys through India and Burma, presenting episodic chapters on Rangoon, Mandalay, the Irrawaddy, Calcutta, Benares, Lucknow, Delhi, the Himalayas, and Rajputana. Chapters shift between travelogue, cultural observation and portraiture: river passages and bazaar scenes, temple architecture and ritual life, festival descriptions such as the Moharam and Rakhykash, and encounters at native courts and hill stations. Illustrations and anecdotal vignettes emphasize everyday customs, costume and landscape, while a concluding political index offers concise context for the regions visited.
