A stunning example of what a well-tinted, non-discoloured postcard looks like some 120 years later.

Sir Pratab Singh (1845-1922) made it on to many postcards as one of the best known Indian officers in the British Indian army, having served from the Second Afghan War (1878) through World War I (1914-1918), where he commanded the Jodhpur Lancers. As a Maharajah, his service was widely popularized in the press and media.
