An Indian Railway Station, 1854. 'A Correspondent...writes: "Having frequently seen in your Journal Illustrations of railway platforms in England, it struck me that a Sketch of the same description, taken in India, might not be altogether uninteresting to some of your numerous subscribers. The Sketch is taken at the Byculla Station, on the Bombay and Tannah line; and in the background I have endeavoured to show the Electric Telegraph, which has at present only one wire laid on. I send you this Sketch at the desire of many friends here, who always take a deep interest in anything from this country which appears in your Journal." We thank our Correspondent for his artistic contribution...for we are here reminded [that] the twin benefits of railway and telegraphic communication have reached the Presidency...' From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
