About this item

Marks on dust jacket but not price clipped. Book scratched on bottom back corner, pencil mark on title page.

Emily Annie Theophila Metcalfe's reminiscences provide a sparkling account of a young lady growing to maturity amidst the flamboyant finery of the dying Moghul Empire.

An extra dimension is added by the inclusion of over 100 facsimile pages of the "Dehlie Book" compiled by her father, Sir Thomas Metcalfe, who specially commissioned illustrations from some of the finest of the native Delhi artists.
