Description
:

Let me Thy servant, O'Lord: I shall Thee and tend They garden and (as my reward) see Thy face every day: Of Thee, shall I sing in the lanes and bowers of Bindraban. This Rajput princess and consort of the heir-apparent to the throne of Udaipur in the 15th-16th century gave up earthly glories for the sake of divine love. Her life was a pure flame of devotion. Her songs have enhanced generations of listeners to this day.

The stamps mounted in this album are the first emissions printed by Photogravure in this country and thus an important landmark in the evolution of Indian stamps. The change over from the existing Offset and Letterpress process to the new method of printing will, however, be gradual. Biographical sketches portrayed on the stamps along with a couplet from each one of them are given in the succeeding pages. Vertical in design and measuring 1.6" X 0.95" the stamps are printed on all-over 5 pointed multiple star watermark paper- Perforation 14: Set 160.
