The Shoes of the Faithful at Hazrat Bal

A self-published postcard by "Miss L. Barne, St. Ebbas, Madras," from a total series of six. Although throughout the 19th and early 20 centuries, British colonists were avid amateur painters, few seem to have turned their works into postcards despite the popularity of the medium after 1900. St. Ebbas, founded in 1886, is still a girl's school in Chennai and it is likely that L. Barne was a teacher there.
