Illustrated edition with drawings by Léon Benett including a frontispiece engraved by Meaulle and 2 full-page maps. Polychrome binding with gilt globe type 3, second cover type Engel "h" according to Jauzac. Headcaps slightly sunken, spine lightened, pleasant copy. Verne chose India as the setting for this adventure and anticipation novel, where the steam house is a sort of train whose locomotive is a steam elephant, the machine running without rails and even capable of being amphibious.
