Original 1959 “Pictorial Album” by Empire Calendar Manufacturing Co., Calcutta-7 (Barabazar) — a rare, large-format trade catalog showcasing mid-century Indian commercial and devotional calendar lithographs. This historic album features samples from both Cheap Grade (11½ × 18”) and Special Grade (12 × 19”) calendars, printed in vivid offset color lithography. The collection reflects the diversity of India’s post-Independence visual culture, including Hindu, Sikh, Christian, patriotic, and cinematic subjects. The introductory pages contain Terms of Business, printing clauses, and price lists for various grades — documenting production costs, tin mounting rates, and two-color printing charges. These additional charges are the buyer's responsibility. Buyer have to clear the customs if there.
