Postcards from the Raj

Beschreibung

Postcards were to people in 1900 what the Internet was to the world in 2000. Postcards can be thought of as the world's first mass transfusion of images. The world went from thousand to a billion postcards in a very short span of time, with the finest painters from India, Austria and Japan getting involved.

Autor

The author, Omar Khan, has researched early photography and ephemera of the subcontinent for thirty years and acquired a large collection of the early postcards featured here. He is also the author of From Kashmir to Kabul: The Photographs of John Burke and William Baker 1860-1900 (Mapin, 2002).
