BOMBAY--1870--Photographer: Unknown--

 Queen Victoria Statue, Bombay.
 Matthew Noble's statue of Queen Victoria, seated beneath an elaborate gothic canopy, was unveiled in 1872. The statue, separated from its canopy in the 20th century, now stands in the grounds of the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum (formerly the Victoria and Albert Museum). The marble canopy was purchased by an industrialist and stands empty in his garden.
