A postcard by the great Indian painter M.V. Dhurandhar illustrating an Englishwoman looking over a coolie offering his services with an empty basket. Note the cleverly positioned Indian woman with a basket on her head in the background.

The message on the front to Miss G. Stanley, 40 Edward St., Burton on Trent, England does not seem clear; "Hope all are as it leaves me. Alex." [?]
