Lithographic Sketches of the Public Characters of Calcutta by C. Grant is a satirical and illustrative work that offers vivid portrayals of prominent figures in 19th-century colonial Calcutta. Through a combination of caricature, humor, and social commentary, the book captures the personalities and peculiarities of British and Indian elites of the time. It provides unique insight into colonial society, blending art and literature to critique and document the cultural and political life of British India.

C. Grant (1813–1880) was a British colonial administrator and writer known for his work in India during the British Raj. He held various administrative positions and contributed to the understanding of Indian society, law, and governance through his writings. Grant’s work often reflected the colonial perspective of the time, focusing on legal and institutional aspects of British rule in India. His contributions form part of the broader corpus of 19th-century colonial literature and policy analysis.
