Wood engravings from "Harper's Weekly" published on the day Mandalay fell to the British at the close of the third Anglo-Burmese War. The short-lived war led to the annexation of the Konbaung Dynasty into British India, by the proclamation of the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, Lord Dufferin on January 1, 1886. The engravings are from original photographs, likely military photographs recording the war. The engravings are captioned:
"The Shiva Dagon Pagoda at Rangoon"; "The Great Bell at Mengdoon" and one larger half-page illustration "Monastery Near the Eastern Gate of Mandalay".
