The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures by Odhams Press
A lovely book illustrating, in effect, the fall of Empire. One of the many commemorative 'picture books' so popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Don't expect Political Correctness here - this is 'how it was'. Highly recommended to pass a couple of hours...
