This poster by K. Nixon promotes the zoos in Victoria Garden, Bombay, and the State Gardens in Baroda. It features four giraffes of varying sizes against a light beige background, with the word "Zoos" prominently displayed in blue across the center. The Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railways (BB&CI) was established in 1852 and authorized by the East India Company in 1853 to survey routes from Bombay to Baroda and beyond. By 1870, BB&CI completed the railway, linking major cities in the Central Province.
