DUNLOP, John (1823-1867)

Mooltan, During and After the Siege. Being twenty-one drawings, from sketches taken on the spot, by John Dunlop, ... With a descriptive and historical account of the siege. London: published by Wm. S. Orr and Co., 1849.

First edition of this illustrated account of the five-month siege of Mooltan, present day Multan in the Punjab. It depicts the city at this time as well as the key participants and events in the siege. The siege had come about as a result of the British attempt to impose a new ruler on this city in 1848. This had triggered an armed uprising by Dewan Mulraj which, as the British authorities sought to regain control of the area, led to the five-month siege. This event was one of the principal triggers for the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-1849). Abbey Travel 474; Bobins IV, 1278; Bruce 4215; Colas 912; Lipperheide Ld 36.



Folio (372 x 271mm) Contemporary hand-finished tinted lithographic pictorial half-title and 21 coloured lithograph plates (minor spotting in places, a little heavier on the title, closed tear in one text leaf). Original red cloth, lettered in gilt on the front side and spine, sides with decorative gilt and blind borders, light cream endpapers. Provenance: J. Matilda Spiner (ownership inscription dated 12 February 1895 on flyleaf) — H.C.N. Daniell (bookplate and ownership inscription dated 1913).
