286x230mm. View from Government Place of the tea rooms and restaurant of Federico Peliti, a two storey building at 11 Government Place East, with much decorative ironwork and a covered porch leading from the main entrance to the street. Federico Peliti came to India from Italy in 1870 as Chief Confectioner to the Viceroy, Lord Mayo. After Mayo's assassination in 1872 Peliti went into business on his own account, with premises at 11 Esplanade Row. He moved into the buildings seen here in 1903. After his death in 1914 the business was continued by his sons Edoardo and Federico: these are possibly the two Europeans seen standing in the foreground in this print. Occupying the other half of the building is the shop of David Leech & Co., Tailors, (Massey p.63).
