1882 2a watercolour showing remarkable consistency of watercolor intensity over a decade
16.8mm x 40mm paper
During this early period the year date is found in the first paragraph of text
The amount paid additional to the cost of the sheet (rasoom ka) is found in the top left hand corner
Likely prepared by the famous watercolour school begun in the late 1600s
Indian stamp of 1980 on airmail letter to Bulgaria,
showing the characteristic style of Kishangarh
th
watercolour painting of the 18 century with stylized
facial type of elongated faces and long locks of hair, still
practiced today. It is the exhibitor’s opinion that the
practitioners of this school, vastly knowledgable in the
fabrication of artists media, would have been the
obvious candidates to assist in the first attempt at inks
for these papers.
