Haji Yusuf [?]
Kathiawar Hindu
A beautifully colored lithographic postcard, with two stamps carefully positioned on the front and postmarked 26th November 1919.
Water Bullock
A nice representation of water being extracted and transported by human and animal labor throughout a village.
Morning exercise
An early view of golf being played in British India, with both a man and woman playing.
Mali, the Gardener
A colonial offering, on a rare lithographic card, both obsequious and a caricature of the snotty memsahib.
Dog Keeper
One of the many – to Indians, curious – new professions that sprouted in the growing city of Bombay at the turn of the century.
Hindu Beauty
A lithographic card, most likely done by an Indian artist and printed in Britain. Note how nicely the woman is foregrounded from a low angle, with a smaller temple in the background and a swirl of green that helps give life to the portrait.
Table Boy
From an unusual lithographic series, a marvelous rendition of a type still very active throughout the subcontinent and restaurants abroad.
Munshi or Mahomedan Teacher
A nicely coloured lithograph, with the green and red on the ground extending the teacher's garments.
Saringee [Sarangi] or Violin

From a beautiful series of artist postcards that may recall elements of "Company Painting" in their direct representations of human form on simply (albeit coloured) backgrounds.
