The print is titled “Their Imperial Majesties and Their Royal Pages” (Registered No. 176) and was published by Anant Shivaji Desai, a noted Indian publisher who continued Ravi Varma Press editions after the artist’s death.

Ravi Varma Press oleographs are chromolithographic prints produced from original paintings, blending Indian artistic subjects with early mass-print technology that made fine art widely accessible across India and beyond.
