Title Carte de visite, Indian aristocrat
Nationality Indian
Period c 1890
Sold

An excellent carte de visite of minor Indian nobility (G. Mansingji thakore saheb of Palitana) with a personalised inscription (Christmas and New Year greetings) to Captain M.E. Nuttal, Aide de Camp to the Governor of Bombay. It is uncommon to find a personalised 'Christmas card' of this type to a British officer in the Raj.

There are details of the photographer to the reverse.

testimonials

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
