Photographic lobby card for the film 'Jhansi Ki Rani'

Photographic lobby card for the Hindi film 'Jhansi Ki Rani' (The Queen of Jhansi), released in the year 1953.

The card shows a scene from the battlefield, featuring Rani Lakshmibai (Mehtab) and people from her army. In the frame, she is sitting with her adopted son Damodar Rao (unidentified) at the entrance of a tent. A soldier is standing in front of her and some others are sitting/standing in the background. Rani Lakshmi Bai's female aid is sitting next to her, towards the bottom right corner, looking in the queen's direction. Starting from the lower half of the left border, a series of illustrations continues till the left half of the bottom border, leading the way towards the credits. On the left border, from top to bottom, first comes an illustration of possibly King Gangadhar's palace/court from the outside, overlapping with that is an illustration of the character Rajguru, played by Sohrab Modi. There is a small sized logo of Minerva Production on the bottom left corner. The illustration continues onto the bottom border, with a book, an army and finally Queen Jhansi mounted on a horse. Next to the illustration of the queen is the name 'Jhansi Ki Rani' (English) and under it is 'Color by TECHNICOLOR'. Under this, a little towards the right is the film's name in Devanagari script and then in Urdu script in the next line, shifiting a little further to the right. In the last line on the bottom is 'PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY SOHRAB MODI'." All the illustrations and credits are printed in a deep red/brown pigment.
