		+	Half tone engraving, three colour engraving
		+
		+	It all came of use. The camera that I had invested in 12 years ago, when I was still a young man scaling the Brahmagiri.. the time I had invested in the Kala Bhavan library, the eye that the kindly Professor Gujjar had rested on me..
		+
		+	I became a line engraver. I started the Phalke Printing and Engraving Works in partnership with Shri Ramkrishna Bhandarkar.
		+	I would make photographs of the paintings and then, expose the negative onto a place of zinc on which was a light sensitive cover of gelatin.
		+	That image, in lines, would then be engraved and printed. I remember personally etching the lines of the cascading hair of the Ravi Varma women, delineating the waters of the ponds around Laxmi, seperating the wings of Jatayu. There was a woman wearing a golden blouse, holding a betel nut. Her hair was pulled back behind her ears, like this, but one tendril had escaped and had run over her brow. Was she pulling her saree pallu over her shoulder or was she slipping it off? It was difficult to say, looking into her eyes.
		+	That fine line of eyebrow.. I have let it emerge after etching other parts of the plate. I knew those paintings, under my fingers.
		+	That year, I was awarded a silver medal for my prints.
		+	I made photo litho transfers for the Raja Ravi Varma's press. They trusted my work with the camera, they trusted my special skill- I knew about both, photography and printing.
		+	They wrote about me in foreign magazines. I got so much work that I had to shift from Lonavala to Dadar.
		+
		+
		+
		+
		+	The waters of that picture, the flowing hair.. it was a heady feeling to photograph it and see the image form on the zinc. Even though I had painted none of it, I had transferred it faithfully and that loving labour was something I was proud of.
		+	The half tone process meant suddenly a painting could become many pictures..
