The printing plate originally used were porous stones. The priting portion of the stone plate was treated to absorb ink and the nonprinting area was treated to repel ink. Depending on the number of colours present, an oleograph could take months to produce by very skilled workers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Oleography process is a variation of lithography, but instead of using a single stone or plate, multiple stones\/ plates are used, each carrying a different color. Unlike regular lithographs, oleographs have multiple ink layers, giving them depth and richness. Oleographs often resemble oil paintings due to their glossy finish and thick ink application.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Ravi Varma Press;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e With support from Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, Raja Ravi Varma established the Fine Art Lithographic Press in 1894 at Girgaum, Bombay. Due to the 1896 plague, it was shifted to Ghatkopar, then to Malavli in 1898, and finally to Karla after a fire. In 1903, the press was sold to his German technician, Mr. Schleizer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKUID\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePLPRVB0132\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDamayanti by Ravi Varma \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e: Ravi Varma\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist's Signature\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eAavailable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e24.3” x 18” x .5” (Frame)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePrint: 20”x14” (Print)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 kgs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePress\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ravi Varma Press, Karla, Lonavla \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: An ant Shivaji Desai, Moti Bazar, Mumbai\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge\u003c\/b\u003e: From  1920s and hence may have some signs of fading which adds to it's beauty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrame\u003c\/b\u003e: Frame would have an acrylic protection in place of glass to avoid the damage during the transit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe ship all over India.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReturn Policy:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNo returns or Exchanges\u003cbr\u003ePlease do check the dimensions before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purathanamstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48188500410523,"sku":"PLPRVB0132","price":65000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0479\/5147\/8939\/files\/4AE7A349-D504-41D1-A4E6-A3855278EE5A.jpg?v=1774694827","url":"https:\/\/purathanam.com\/products\/damayanti-by-ravi-varma-oleograph-print-1","provider":"Purathanam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
