THE PASSIONATE DETACHMENT 96 ILLUSTRATIONS Not For Sale Regarding the Calcutta Art Studio – “According to Benode Behari Mukherjee, “for a long time the studio run by Annonda Prosad and his pupils and colleagues catered to the needs of the residents of Calcutta. Lithographic prints composed on subjects from the myths and legends of the Hindu puranas were unique contribution of this studio to the cultural life of Bengal. The influence of ’antique study’ in the art school can be discerned in these prints. The studio also helped in the dissemination of portraits of eminent Indians”.
