Tank Square and water carriers, Calcutta
A hand-coloured print of Tank Square, Calcutta, from the Fiebig Collection: Views of Calcutta and Surrounding Districts, taken by Frederick Fiebig in 1851. This is a view inside the entrance to the tank, within Tank Square, which was an important reservoir supplying much of the water to the city. The Bhistis (water carriers) can be seen here carrying their leather water bags. The ornamental box on the right is for watchmen (chowdikars) who prevented people from bathing in the tank.

Coloured photograph of a masula boat at Madras, taken by Frederick Fiebig in c.1851. The masula is a famous Madras surf boat, a light, open vessel designed and modified to work well through sea and surf conditions off a particular beach. It was flat-bottomed, high-sided, built in pliable sections of mango wood sewn together with coconut fibre, and paddled or rowed using a steering oar. Madras was a major Indian port but did not have a natural harbour. This view shows the boat beached on the foreshore with colonial buildings behind. 1851. Source: Photo 248/(32). Stock Photo
