Good morning @pvonhellermannn and everyone
Have a great weekend.
These days I get so many 'Sign the petition' messages via WhatsApp, E-mail, SMS etc.
It is quite bugging.
But it used to happen in the older times too.
Like in this c1740 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting from the #Punjab #Himalayan Princely state of #Mankot #Ramkot in #jammu #India & now at British #Museum
'A Princess receiving a Petition'.

'Raja Medni Pal of #Basohli with a Falcon'.
This c1730 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting was made by an artist from #Mankot #Ramkot near #Jammu in the #JammuAndKashmir State of #India
This #Painting now at Rietburg #Museum in #Zurich #Switzerland was on display at their 'Life as a Prince' exhibition which ended on 6th Sept. 2020.
The background 'Indian Yellow' colour was obtained from the dried urine of cows fed only with turmeric & mangoes and, who ultimately died from starvation!

'Krishna Kills the Crane Demon Bakasura'.
c1720 AD #Pahari #Painting by artist Meju of #Mankot #Ramkot #Jammu now at Minneapolis Institute of Art #USA
Bakasura was sent by Kamsa, the Wicked King of #Mathura to kill #Krishna, the 8th Avatar of #Vishnu who had come to Earth to Vanquish Evil.
The Giant Crane Bakasura swallows Krishna. But, the Great God Emits so much Heat that the Demon Disgorges Him. He then kills the #Bird, Ripping it's Beak asunder.
The Approaching Storm.
