BOMBAGARH LIBRARY

In his short life, Sukumar Ray wrote poems, plays, short stories and essays. We are trying to bring them together here, building the Library one work at a time. It is still under construction and growing gradually. For now, go find your favourite Sukumar Ray verse — or perhaps find a new favourite.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are these really Sukumar Ray's drawings?

Yes. Every design is Ray's own illustration. Nothing is redrawn, nothing is "inspired by". We have just restored the illustrations to make them suitable for print.

Is it legal to print his work?

Yes. Ray died in 1923 and his work entered the public domain in India long ago. The drawings belong to everybody; only our restorations and our own material are ours.

How are you different from other brands which sell similar t-shirts?

Most of them aren't Ray's drawings. They're redrawings — someone has redrawn the character, or had a computer reinterpret it.  We print Ray's own line, restored from the original plates. The hatching is his. The wobble is his. Nothing has been cleaned up, modernized or improved. Hold one up next to the book. They match.

Will there be more designs?

Yes. Ten to begin with. More will follow. Subscribe to the newsletter to hear about new releases first. Have a specific Sukumar Ray illustration in mind? Let us know. We may just add it to the collection.
