The original Gods in Print was the first comprehensive collection of early hand-colored lithographs, multiple-block chromolithographs, and offset print images that featured India’s rich pantheon of gods and goddesses.Gods in Print: The Krishna Poster Collection brings forty of the most stunning images of Krishna from Gods in Print into a new removable and frameable format, allowing for greater appreciation of all the details and thought put into each piece. Featuring images of Krishna as the child Gopal, with Radha, battling Kaliya, and many more, this divine gallery is the ultimate poster collection of historical Krishna prints and lithographs for anyone interested in Hinduism, spirituality, mythology, or art.

During the past fifteen years Mark Baron and Elise Boisante have traveled throughout India in search of early Hindu mythological prints and have formed one of the world’s most important collections. Prints from their collection have been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Davis Museum at Wellesley College; and the Library of Congress. Recently their collecting has focused on Hindu lithographs of the 1870s and 1880s.
