While working on our book, Otiprakrito, we realized that there's a serious lack of Bengali reference illustrations for our artists to learn from.
How do you draw a Bengali Pori that does not look like a Western Fairy? How do you authentically recreate the costumes and furnitures from a royal court?
To fill this void, we are happy to launch our very own Bengali Vintage Childrens' Book Digitization Project. We have already purchased the first batch of 10 books spanning from the 1940s to the 1970s. High quality scans from these books will be uploaded to Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, in addition to our website.
