The postcard, painted in watercolour, depicts the globe set in space with the area in its centre marked by the word 'India'. There is a small group of figures wearing top-hats towards which are pointed telescopes from all angles. There is an orange moon or a sun wearing sun glasses peeping over the Himalayas above India. The inscription on the bottom right reads: 'The First Bengali Governor. Where is H.E.?' The cartoon appeared in larger scale in Modern Review.
