[Original caption] A Native Musician in Peshawar, a town and district in the Punjab province near the entrance to the Khyber Pass.
A hand-painted postcard which has been very nicely constructed to feature the dancer, who is entirely in colour. The musicians are partially sketched, with only their instruments, sashes and turbans coloured.
A very early postcard of nautch or dancing women, shown here in a classical post, one hand on hip, the other raised, sometimes called "in attitude," on postcards.
