All prints will be sent bagged and in a boarded envelope for maximum protection. While every care is taken to ensure my scans or photos accurately represent the item offered for sale, due to differences in monitors and internet pages my pictures may not be an exact match in brightness or contrast to the actual item. Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) THE POST OFFICE AND TELEGRAPH OFFICE, BOMBAY. These two offices are exceedingly well arranged for the purposes which they are intended to serve, and the Telegraph Office is a somewhat fortunate example of the adaptation of Oriental architecture to modern European uses. Until the recent terrible visitation of the plague Bombay was the richest and most active city in the Indian Peninsula. It is sincerely to be hoped that ere long the traces of its terrible epidemic may be removed, and that the trade which these two offices so effectually serve may be restored to its former activity with the returning prosperity of the people of the great Wesern capital.
