A curiously hand-tinted sepia real photo postcard of the great Bengali writer and multi-faceted artist (1861-1941), with pink expertly applied on the inside garment peeking out from below. The first Nobel Prize winner from India (1913), his impact and reputation around the world was almost unequaled during the first half of the 20th century.
The photograph seems to have been signed by S. Ghosh, who may or may not have also been the publisher.
