Madras of the 1890's
The Library of Congress' World's Transportation Commission photography collection has come rather interesting snap-shots of the World as it was in the mid-1890's. The entire itinerary that the commission followed is available here.
Below are two snapshots of my native city - Chennai (formerly Madras) in South India.
Madras High Court 1890s

Nice Snaps though. There are some old movie songs of 60s (Azhagiya mithilai nagarinile.. if I remember correct) in which Chennai looked great....
