Travancore Letter Cards of 1898 & 1903

In 1898, Travancore is the only state in the whole of India, where letter-cards are used.

 Though there was an attempt in circa 1860's, by British India to come out with Letter cards, which eventually has to be aborted.

These letter-cards didn't survive long as they were not accepted by the public, unlike other cards.

 One Chuckram Letter card in an ornate design in lithographed (perforated - 12) with different shifts in design, size & colour of cards, as shown below.
