DOROTHY NEWSOME (DATES UNKNOWN) A SHILLONG BELLE / SEE INDIA. Circa 1935.
39 x 25 inches. The Bolton Fine Art, Bombay.
Condition A-: restored pinholes in corners; minor wrinkles in margins and in image.
Currently the capital of the small Indian state of Meghalaya, and the former capital of Assam, Shillong is referred to as "The Scotland of the East," because of its geological similarity to the Scottish Highlands. Newsome depicts none of the area's physical attractions in this poster, concentrating instead on the colorful attire of a local woman and the exotic manner in which she is transporting her baby.
