A rare and highly interesting vintage mythological devotional print titled “APPEAL”, also marked in Hindi as “Pukar”. This artwork presents a dramatic symbolic composition featuring divine and celestial figures in the upper section, while the lower section incorporates a striking map-like form of India, filled with smaller narrative scenes.
The imagery appears deeply allegorical, expressing a spiritual appeal or divine invocation, making this piece visually powerful as well as culturally significant. The composition stands out for its unusual subject matter, emotional storytelling, and strong devotional character.
This print carries important original publication details, which add to its authenticity and collector appeal. The lower section clearly mentions Published by A. Minister & Co., Lahore, while the right side carries the printing credit Engraved & Printed at F.W. Co., Lahore. Such original Lahore imprints make this an especially desirable piece for collectors of pre-Partition Indian prints, devotional art, and historical religious ephemera.
Presented in an old black wooden frame, the piece retains its age beautifully and has strong decorative as well as collectible value.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
