Good morning @pvonhellermannn and everyone
Have a great weekend.
These days I get so many 'Sign the petition' messages via WhatsApp, E-mail, SMS etc.
It is quite bugging.
But it used to happen in the older times too.
Like in this c1740 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting from the #Punjab #Himalayan Princely state of #Mankot #Ramkot in #jammu #India & now at British #Museum
'A Princess receiving a Petition'.
'Raja Medni Pal of #Basohli with a Falcon'.
This c1730 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting was made by an artist from #Mankot #Ramkot near #Jammu in the #JammuAndKashmir State of #India
This #Painting now at Rietburg #Museum in #Zurich #Switzerland was on display at their 'Life as a Prince' exhibition which ended on 6th Sept. 2020.
The background 'Indian Yellow' colour was obtained from the dried urine of cows fed only with turmeric & mangoes and, who ultimately died from starvation!
