Printed by Marion and Co., 22 & 23, Soho Square, London. The author notes that “[t]he belief that a selection of views from Gujarat and Rajputana would meet with public support, and help to spread a knowledge of the beauties of Indian architecture and scenery, has led the publishers to put forth the present volume of photographs, selected from a larger series taken by Mr. C. Murray, partner of the firm, during a tour in these provinces in the months of December 1872, January, February, and March 1873."
