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 battlefield with the Jhansi fort in the background. In the foreground, towards the right, the royal character Sadashiv Rao is standing terrified with joined hands in front of a canon with a Company officer standing next to the canon's wheels. There are other Company soldiers in the background. 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, shifting 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.
