Description:

        This is an oleograph print of “Shakuntala Janam” printed in Ravi Varma press,  Ghatkopar, Maharashtra between 1896-1898. This particular painting “Shakuntala Janam” holds a special place in the history amongst all the other Ravi Varma paintings.

         The F. A. L. Press Bombay (Ravi Varma Fine Art Lithographic Press) was the first ever printing press of Ravi Varma which was established in the year 1894 in Girgaum, Bombay (now Girgaaon , Mumbai). Ravi Varma’s paintings Sakoontala, Lakshmi, Saraswati were the first 3 paintings which were chosen by Ravi Varma to print in his newly opened press F. A. L. press  in 1894. It was initially named “Sakoontala” and later the name was changed to “Shakuntala Janam”. So among all the other paintings of Ravi varma, “Shakuntala Janam” holds a special place in the history.

P. S. The reason why Ravi Varma had to shut down his first press F.A. L., Bombay is,  in 1896 a bubonic plague broke out in Bombay and Ravi Varma had to close down his F.A.L press and move the press to the outskirts of Bombay, to Ghatkopar in the year c. 1896-1897.
