A very early court-sized postcard most probably by Paul Gerhardt, the chief lithographer at the Ravi Varma Press in Bombay.

The Place of Contrition in Benares
One of the most famous ghats in Varanasi.
This card, originally published by the Austrian firm of Josef Heim in Vienna in 1898 was re-published in this version by Thacker & Co. in Bombay, one of the leading Raj department stores.

![[Dancer and Musicians]](https://www.paperjewels.org/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/slides/nautch-and-musicians_0.jpg?itok=1nflUs6c "[Dancer and Musicians]")
A hand-painted postcard which has been very nicely constructed to feature the dancer, who is entirely in colour. The musicians are partially sketched, with only their instruments, sashes and turbans coloured.
Nanga Parbat (Kashmir)
Most likely the earliest postcard of the 9th highest peak in the world, from an early Aquarelle series by F. Hartmann depicting scenes in Kashmir.

One of the finest of Dhurandhar's postcards, which satirizes and draws attention to the novelty of the postcard – that anyone could read it, including and especially the postman.
