Inside Out Library

With Clive in India: or the Beginnings of an Empire, etc

Henty, G. A. (George Alfred) · 1884 · Blackie & Son · 22 pictures

G. A. Henty's boys' adventure novel about Robert Clive and the British conquest of Bengal, published by Blackie & Son in London in 1884 for young readers. The plates are full-page wood-engraved scenes with captions set below the frame: battle melees with swords and banners, an Indian bazaar with stalls and squatting vendors, barefoot fights on shipboard, and officers around a table in an interior—useful for crowd groupings, period uniforms, and captioned plate layouts.
