| Description |
CALCUTTA. Our picture gives us some idea of the vast extent of the great official capital of British India. We are here looking down upon the top of the High Court, a handsome building, of which an illustration appears in another part of litis work. Calcutta has been sufficiently long in the possession of Europeans to have become exceedingly "Western " in its architecture, at least in those portions of the city in which Europeans principally reside. It does not take long, however, to pass into the native quarter in which the " East" with its manners, customs, and habits makes itself apparent to the traveller through every sense. During the hot season the Government of India leaves Calcutta and transacts its business in the higher and healthier climate of Simla. |
