The Edward Fanshawe lithographs are a collection of lithographs with one original sketch by Lieutenant General Edward Fanshawe, created during his service with the Corps of Royal Engineers (1801-1850). This collection contains 41 highly-detailed images depicting topography, fortifications and settlements in the West Indies, United States and Canada.

The first image in the album is a pen and ink drawing of Saint Lucia viewed from Morne Fortune with penciled notes in the lower margin, the rest of the views are lithographs, some of which (pages 11, 16, and 29) contain penciled notes.
