| Description |
THE BICYCLE IN THE EAST; OR, A FESTIVAL IN HYDERABAD. Our picture represents the " bicycle boys " of Hyderabad taking iheir part in a procession which is enlivening the splendid capital of the Nizam's territory. The one object in this scene which is itself not picturesque is the bicycle, a conveyance which stands in the first rank for its utility, but for which its most devoted adherents have not as yet claimed a very exalted position in the matter of beauty. But the East is now no longer slow to adopt the inventions of the West, and, especially in'such an enlightened capital as Hyderabad, the conveniences which modern Europe considers to be indispensable are to be found with as great certainty, though not perhaps in as great profusion, as in a European city. |
