Description

THE JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS IN BOMBAY

Here we see a portion of the multitude which thronged the streets of Bombay on the day of the Jubilee. In the centre of the picture rises the statue of the Empress, seated crowned under a stately marble canopy. It is surrounded by a circle of native schoolboys, of whom a picked few sing songs specially composed for the great occasion. Flowers are thrown at the leet of the statue, while a little girl may be seen placing a garland round its neck. In the crowd may be seen representatives of the Parsee community, which forms so important an element in Bombay ; they are distinguished by their peculiar head-dress The majority are doubtless Hindus, and not a single European is to be observed in the whole of this orderly, well-conducted crowd. It is sorrowful to think that since this happy day the terrible hand cf the plague has been laid with unsparing severity upon the city of Bombay.
