Many visitors walked around the camps during the Durbar days. Most painters and illustrators took their time to sketch and take notes at the camps. Also the accounts and chronicals were mostly during the hours between events. The Main Procession and the Retainers Review didn't give much time to anyone to take notes since there were too many things happening during a relatively short period of time.
