DescriptionThe artists of the Air-India studio drew their inspiration not only from classical Indian art but also from Western art traditions, which they often parodied, installing the Maharaja in a wide range of sometimes unlikely artistic contexts. Here, in a playful riff on the iconic World War I recruitment poster featuring Uncle Sam, the Maharaja makes a stern appeal to travelers, insisting that they fly Air-India.On View
