On the Face of the Waters

Delhi in 1857, from the first cartridges to the storming of the city, with the English and the Indians given equal weight. Flora Annie Steel lived twenty-two years in the Punjab, spoke the languages and inspected the schools; no other English novel of the mutiny was written with that knowledge. This edition is bound with a gallery of 58 plates of painting, among them works by Edwin Lord Weeks, Alexandre-Évariste Fragonard and Eugène Devéria, and includes all six books of the novel.
