[Original caption] Repaired by the Emperor Humayun in 1540 A.D. According to tradition founded by Pandav King, about 1400 B.C. [end]
A postcard which illustrates how intertwined the printing and publishing of postcards could be among firms. The template is typical of H.A. Mirza and Sons, a Delhi-based photographer and postcard publisher, probably the largest of those in the city for the first decades of the twentieth century. But the back is standard Raphael Tuck's fare and letterpress, even naming it as an Excelsior postcard type. Beneath that is printed "M. L. Sugan Chand, Indian Art Museum, Delhi." It was also printed in Germany, not typical of Tuck's postcards. Most probably, Sugan Chand commissioned the postcard from Tuck's but used a Mirza photograph and template.
Tuck's had its own view of Delhi's Old Fort.
