Paper Jewels is the story of postcards during the Raj, and covers India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Burma. It is the first book on the subject and the first to show hundreds of professionally restored images in their original format. The essays cover the major cities and regions important to postcard publishing and the key themes. The book contains the most beautiful and popular postcards telling the stories of the first postcard publishers in the subcontinent between 1892 and 1947.
