More Info

This poster by Motahar features a mosque silhouette set against a patterned backdrop and promotes Dacca—once celebrated as the city of mosques and muslin. It was issued by the Bureau of Tourism, located on Club Road in Karachi, which was then the capital of Pakistan and the hub for national tourism promotion. After the 1971 war, Dacca became Dhaka, the capital of independent Bangladesh, now renowned for its Islamic heritage and historic textile industry.
