Description:

 

      A captivating oleograph print from early 20th-century Bombay, featuring a poised, graceful woman immersed in reading, a rare blend of beauty, intellect, and colonial-era commercial design. Likely part of a sophisticated advertisement campaign from “The Premier House in India for Everything Automobile,” this anonymous portrait echoes an era where modernity was quietly taking root in the Indian imagination.

In early 1900s, Just like Ravi Varma, M. V. Dhurandhar’s paintings of Hindu deities, other artists paintings were also used in marketing  in the form of posters and calendars to promote their brands and products in the market.

Popular companies from both Indian and London  companies like sunlight soap company, Chika Ltd, Bombay, The British Alizarine co. ltd. a London Travel company,  Ltd. etc are good examples of such posters Which are still high in demand as they have become antique after 100 years much like this print.
