• Sree Dham Brindaban
  The sky is a solid blue, in which stands two large Hindu temple towers. The temple is located in one of the most holy of Hindu pilgrimage sites, Sri Vrindavan Dham (spelled on the poster “Sree Dham Brindaban”). Obscuring the lower part of the temple is a thick, dark green treeline. In the foreground, a Hindu woman kneels while dropping flowers and fruit into an offering tray; a daily ritual called canang sari. She is dressed in colorful clothes, a garb made of red, yellow, and green cloth with flower patterns on it. She is barefoot, wears large gold earrings and multiple gold bracelets. To her right is a dark brown silhouette. The silhouette appears to be playing a woodwind instrument, likely a venu or bansuri. It is also wearing a hat of unclear make, with fibered frond-like ornamentation. The beautiful colors of the woman’s clothes and the celebratory poise of the instrument player paints Sri Vrindavan Dham as a place of wonder and majesty. Even the temple in the background seems to play on the viewer’s curiosity of foreign culture and art.This image depicting life and events in India is dripping in Indian religious heritage and culture. The woman making an offering at the foreground of the image kneels in front of the silhouette playing the instrument described as a venu or bansuri. the offering of fruit and flowers represents the plethora of nectorous fruit and aromatic foliage that the Vrindavan temple gardens produce. The silhouette is most likely that of a statue of Krishna, one of the most well known and highly worshiped Hindu deities. Krishna is known in many ways and many forms. He is recognized by the Hindu religion as the eighth incarnation of Vishnu and is very powerful and influential. Krishna is usually seen as a young boy either with his pet cow or playing his murali (flute). Krishna is not only specific to Indian religion but his history is directly connected to Sri Vrindavan Dham. This temple is believed to be the site at which Krishna was originated and spent much of his childhood life. The city of Vrindavan seemed to have lost its native importance during the 15th century but at the beginning of the 16th century it is said that religious teacher Chaitanya Mahaprabhu revalidated its significance through his journey to find the places in which Sri Krishna traveled and spent his time. Ever since Vrindavan has been considered one of the holiest sites in all of India and is known around the world for its cultural heritage and beauty. Still today there are festivals devoted to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his zealous work related to Krishna.
• Indo-Chine par les Chargeurs Réunis
  The sky is overcast, with hints of soft blue towards the horizon. What little of the horizon is visible resembles what seems to be a port. Obscuring the rest of the horizon floats a large red and white ship. It has one orange smokestack with a horizontal white stripe, two main masts, and has three deck levels. Three small fishing boats float in front of the ship, and one floats behind it, to the left of the viewer. Directly in front of the viewer floats two small fishing boats, each with a person sitting in them. The closest person can be seen wearing a wide-brim tan hat and a grey tunic. The French phrases “indo-chine” and “par les Chargeurs Réunis” line the top and bottom of the poster, referring to trade by the French shipping company Chargeurs Réunis (United Shippers), who ship in the Indo-China region of mainland Southeast Asia. The whole poster is very muted in tone and hue, looking more dreary than happy or adventurous. The large shipping vessel has the only distinct or bright colors in the piece, perhaps meant to give the message that the company has the capabilities to safely carry cargo through unknown and exotic lands.
