The Antiquities of Orissa v1.c2.3

v1.c2.3

It proved particularly difficult to reproduce the plates, for the only copy of the book with which we have been obliged to work was absurdly brittle and worn out. We are indebted to Sri Ranendra Mohan Singha for copying out a large number of these plates, a work that has called for considerable skill and an almost endless patience. Other plates could not be thus copied and had to be reproduced straight from the book. We would have perhaps given this up as a hopeless work but for the keen interest taken in it by Sri Nirode Mukherji and Sri Sudhir Mukherji, with their team of technicians of M/S. Radiant Process, Calcutta, who eventually made the reproductions possible. We cannot thank them enough. The Woodcuts of the texts have been copied by Sm. Mukti Majumdar and Sri Subhash De.
