More Info

This calendar features advertisements for "Cama Ramjee - Bombay, Importer of Aniline & Fast Colours," with a vibrant parrot perched on a branch. Scattered throughout the image are smaller labels depicting horses and riders, each promoting specific products like "Superior Fast Colour 8B" and "Congo Red 8B." Cama Ramjee & Co., founded in Bombay in 1884 by the influential Cama family of the Parsi community, was a key importer of aniline dyes and fast colors. The company played a vital role in India's textile industry during the industrial era by providing high-quality synthetic dyes sourced from Switzerland. Their range of textile dyes, prominently featuring the "Superior Fast Color" line, solidified their reputation in the Indian dye market. The lithograph also includes a calendar from 1898, highlighting the company's long-standing presence and impact in the industry.
