Description
his postcard set is inspired by a time when sending a message across India required patience, effort, and well-established routes that crossed forests, deserts, rivers, and open plains.
The set includes 6 illustrated postcards, each based on a different mode of mail transport. From runners moving through dense terrain to carts carrying bulk mail, and from river crossings to the first airmail flight, each card captures a small part of how communication once worked.
Included in this postcard set:
- Dak Runner
- Camel Dak
- Bullock Mail Cart
- Dawk Boat
- Imperial Horse Tonga
- First Aerial Post (1911)
The illustrations are minimal and consistent, with a slight vintage influence. The focus is on clarity and subject, without unnecessary detail, so the cards feel both usable and collectible.
This postcard set works well for postcrossing, collecting, or as a simple gift. It’s also suitable for anyone interested in postal history or printed paper goods.
Printed on quality cardstock, the cards are made for regular use but are equally suited for keeping as part of a collection.
