| Notes |
The Chore Bagan studio produced popular prints for the "mass market comparable to those being created at the larger Calcutta Art Studio." Lithography was gaining momentum as a medium for picture production in the 1870s, "and the Chore Bagan studio," located in Bhoobun Bannerjee’s Lane, Calcutta, was active in the 1880s and 1890s. Images produced include depictions of Kali, the fight between Rama and Ravana, as well as prints depicting the followers of Chaitanya. Hand-written captions in English have been added to the Bengali letter-press of the majority (some letterpress also in Hindi). The majority of the prints in this album were produced in Calcutta and reflect Bengal devotional cults; the final four prints were published by, the Ravi Varma Press from Lonavla, c. 1910. See Christopher Pinney, 'Photos of the Gods' London 2004 for a comprehensive account of nineteenth century popular prints in India. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan. Or photocopy of a public domain original. Or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan/photocopy that no copyright protection can be, expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear. But insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | |||||
