Air India's mascot, Maharajah AKA "The Rogue" is one of the most beloved corporate personalities. Developed in 1946 by Bobby Kooka, Maharajah is known for his padded belly, large mustache, and mischievous spirit. He travels the world, always ready to fully immerse himself in the culture of the place he is visiting. Here, we see Maharajah holding court at home in his palace, surrounded by female servants.

Air India was founded in 1932 by Bharat Ratna, the first Indian to receive a commercial pilot's license. It began as an airmail route, and was nationalized into a commercial airline in 1953.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
