Between November 1905 and March 1906, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later George V and Queen Mary) embarked on a tour of India, which represented the most extensive survey of the sub-continent undertaken by members of the Royal Family. This book describes the tour, the towns, the architecture, the Indian etc, and has 165 illustrations from photographs.
This copy was a prize from the publishers Hodder and Stoughton's Annual Excursion and Sports Day in August 1906, and was given to an S Gant for coming second in the 100 yards flat race.
