The Edwardian era, which covered Edward's reign and was named after him, coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society, including powered flight and the rise of socialism.

In India, the National awakening was on the upsurge. By the turn of the century, signs of political unrest were beginning to emerge throughout India. The new radical direction of Indian nationalism in the Edwardian period was demonstrated by the rise of the wing of the Indian National Congress, spearheaded by Lokmanya Tilak and other national leaders. The boycott of British goods and the starting of Swadeshi Era with a credo of “ BE INDIAN – BUY INDIAN “started in the first decade of 20th century. This was ignited with the partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon (1899–1905), the Viceroy of India. The Indian nationalists saw the design behind partition and condemned it unanimously, starting the anti-partition and the Swadeshi movements.

Issue of Bazar Post Cards flourished during this period. It is the section of Indian Postal Stationery which has fascination and attraction to all levels of philatelists. In the Edwardian period (22 January 1901 to 6 May 1910) of philately, it had a meteoric rise and had deep impact on the Indian philatelic scene. It had a political overtone as these cards did carry pictures of Royalty. We find Bazar Post Cards with different pictures of Queen Victoria, Edward VII, Queen Alexandra and Viceroy Curzon with Mary Victoria.

Bazar Post Cards with pictures of British Monarchs and Royal official like Viceroy are presented here.
