Afghan War, 1839-42, gaining battle honours at Candahar, Ghuznee and

Williams. In some cases the written title differs from that on the plate,
suggesting, presumably, personal knowledge. A rare series of views which
was also issued with the litho plates coloured: copies are rarely found
complete in either state.
