Description |
English: Album of popular prints mounted on cloth pages. Colour lithograph, lettered, inscribed and numbered 15. A devotee or follower of Caitanya is seated in lotus position. He is being blessed by several deities; Kali and Krishna are portrayed on the left, while Śiva and Radha are on the right. A composite form of Radha and Krishna is portrayed in the sky above, entwined within the mystical syllable Om. The placement of the deities signifies balance between the male and female elements in Hindu philosophy. The English inscription along the bottom border incorectly identifies the figures as Purusha and Prakriti, the male and female manifests of Brahmin that symbolise consciousness and nature. |

Notes | Lithography was gaining momentum as a medium for picture production in the 1870s, and several studios operated in Bengal producing popular prints for the mass market. Hand-written captions in English have been added to the Bengali letter-press of the majority of the prints (some letterpress also in Hindi). The majority of the chromolithographs 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Licensing[edit]
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 or 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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
