The Post Office in British India [La Poste Aux Indes Anglaises]

An early postcard by the French branch of the premiere Zurich, Switzerland-based publisher Kunzli Freres. The firm's postcard series celebrating mail delivery around the world (see the Kashmir post) are among the most beautiful lithographic postcards, and were also used by advertisers with their messages on the back which would have helped defray their high printing costs. Note how the stamp is part of the image.
