Includes fine views of the city (Chowinghee Street, panoramas taken from the top of Hooghly Bridge, the Hindustan Building, the Burra Bazar on Harrison Street, Juma Masjid mosque, Nimtolla burning ghat), bustling street scenes (buffalo herds, beggars, snake charmers, "a native madman... accosting cars"), American servicemen interacting with the locals (street vendors, bookstall holders "specialising in lurid novels", brothel keepers).
