Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Typical Pictures of Indian Natives: Being Reproductions From Specially Prefered Prepared Hand-Coloured Photographs, With Descriptive Letterpress
The Gorgeous East, if robbed of the vivid colouring which is its greatest charm, would cease to please the only one of the senses to which it ever appeals. By the same token, plain photographs fail to convey an adequate idea of the real pic ture, to those whom fortune - or misfortune - has never sent Eastward, and it is with a view, therefore, to enable travellers to present to their friends at home a true rendering of the varied and picturesque costumes worn by Natives of India in general, and of Bombay in particular, that this little book is presented to the public.
