source

The sourced Wikipedia account of Kalighat painting, a style that developed around the Kali temple at Kalighat, Kolkata, in the mid-nineteenth century on mill-made paper, used here to corroborate the style's origin, technique and its early adoption of secular and satirical subject matter alongside its devotional images of Kali and other deities. It also reports that the V&A holds the world's largest Kalighat collection, 645 works.
