Significance

R. Siva Kumar said that reproducing the works in print was important in making them accessible to the public, as "The ink used in the originals is not very durable. The paintings can’t be left in the open for long".[2]

In a review for the Royal Asiatic Society, Cambridge Journals, W. Andrew Robinson called the reproductions of "unparalleled quality" and said the four volumes cover almost all of Tagore's existing work, though some works are missing.[3]

gollark: Like what? I'm pretty sure there has been thought about this.
gollark: What would you prefer, *no* lockdown (or much less of one) and significantly higher infection (and then death) rates?
gollark: Did you not read anything people said?
