[Lucnow]. [Printed by - Pt. Ram Shanker Bajpai, ath the Lucknow Steam Printing Press], [1926]. Fifth edition.
12mo. [4], 41pp, [1]. With a large folding sketch map (dated 1922). Original publisher's printed buff wrappers. A trifle rubbed and creased.
A crisp copy, in original state, of a cheaply produced succinct guide book intended for the use of tourists visiting Lucknow, seemingly first published in 1910.

The author, 'In the hope of lessening the difficulties of sight-seeing at Lucknow', provides an itinerary for the would-be tourist, taking in the historical monuments, bazaars, and gardens of the city. The work concludes with a succinct history of Lucknow during the 1857 Mutiny.

All editions are scarce, with this fifth being no exception; OCLC records a single copy (BL), COPAC adds no further.
