Epigraphia carnatica. By B. Lewis Rice, Director of Archaeological Researches in Mysore
A volume of the Epigraphia Carnatica survey, compiled by B. Lewis Rice for the Mysore Department of Archaeology and printed at the Government Central Press in Bangalore in 1894 for epigraphists and historians of South India. The plates are photolithographed facsimiles of copper-plate grants and stone inscriptions, reproduced as white Kannada and Grantha letterforms on solid black grounds, often three panels to a page with round binding holes punched through, giving designers dense reversed-out script texture and flat black rectangles.
