Princes & Chief of Western India (circa 1870)
This was published in Europe for those who had never travelled to India. However, it is almost impossible to convey an adequate idea of the vast extent and varied population of the peninsula known by that name. Many of these princes & chiefs attended the grand Darbar held in Bombay, Nov. 1872.
