    Can anyone identify the lady on this poster, I assume brijbasi delhi is the printer and 94 would make it part of a series. $_57 - 2021-08-25T113528.865.jpg $_57 - 2021-08-25T113543.444.jpg

    It has to be older than that looking at the style and condition of it to me

    If you look at your photo above the 94 where the blue ink starts you will see the modern printer dot matrix ink pattern indicating it is not too old.

    I think Brijbasi Art Press was established in India in the early 20th century. I’m guessing that this print dates from around the ‘70s and the ‘94’ is a reference number assigned to that image rather than a date. Most of the Brijbasi prints seem to have one – here’s an earlier example in the British Museum collection. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/A_2016-3051-1
