Jewish Family Postcards - New Year's Greetings

A couple of years back, Ronnie Gupta allowed me to photograph some of their old family postcards exchanged around New Year. His mother's side, were members of an old and well-respected Jewish family in Calcutta, the Hyams. These postcards (dating back to the sixties or seventies, I think), were exchanged between friends and family. Some were printed in Germany, but there's no publication detail visible on the three presented here. The background is usually a gorgeous multi-coloured reflecting surface.

My sincerest thanks to Ronnie for sharing these images.
