'By the same token, plain photographs fail to convey an adequate idea of the real picture to those whom fortune – or misfortune – has never sent eastward, and it is with a view, therefore, to enable travellers to present to their friends at home a true rendering of the varied and picturesque costumes worn by natives of India in general and of Bombay in particular, that this little book is presented to the public.'

As General Manager of 'The Times of India', F.M Coleman was only one of a select number of British Colonials who undertook a comprehensive study of Indian people during the age of Empire.
