This postcard is actually an exquisite work of art, signed by the Nathdwara artist A. Ghasiram. Nathdwara in Rajasthan was a center of "Pichwai" painting for centuries. The postcard originated as a signed painting, photographed and printed as a bromide black and white image in Germany before being individually hand-coloured by Brij Basi & Sons in Karachi. These religious and political postcards by the firm are among the most unique postcards published in India, and it is rare to find one where the original artists signature is still visible.
