Parsis were among the early collectors of picture postcards

Meher Taleyarkhan of Readymoney House, Napean Sea Road was "among Bombay’s earliest persons who collected postcards as a hobby,” noted collectors of Indian memorabilia Sangeeta and Ratnesh Mathur at a public talk titled "Bombay outside Mumbai” organized on June 5, 2021 by the Khaki Heritage Foundation (KHF), a not-for-profit entity created by the reputed Khaki Tours. She was reportedly a copious writer of picture postcards to correspondents overseas between 1905 and 1915 and the Mathurs noted that they have eight postcards from Taleyarkhan in their collection. "We have seen a couple more online at different times, which we couldn’t acquire.”
