Framed Print of Seepee Fair, near Simla, in the Himalayas, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Seepee Fair, near Simla, in the Himalayas, 1881. Engraving of a sketch by Major J. M. Richardson, R.A. Once a year...the natives, from all the neighbouring districts flock to the Seepee temple in their newest clothes...The main business is the sale of the superfluous female population...There, too, are European ladies and gentlemen, who vie with the dealers in staring the hill maidens out of countenance...All round the most open and level part of the forest whirl hundreds of merry-go-rounds...At one side are numbers of small stalls loaded with sham jewellery, the greater part of which comes from Birmingham...One of the most amusing [hill sports] is a novel exhibition of archery. Archers step out one by one to shoot at a man having his legs protected by tight fitting leather gaiters, who dances about in front of the bowmen, and two or three yards only from them. The contortions of the man shot at are amusing, and, judging by the number of misses, it would seem either that the archers are very indifferent shots, or that the aim was not so easy as it looked, for the gaiters were but seldom hit. The extremely bright dresses of the natives, contrasting with the sombre forest, make a scene which is not easily described or forgotten'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
