"This book documents the growth of printed images of punishments in hell from 19th and 20th century India. It explores what happens when new technologies of image reproduction collide with deep cultural traditions, and traces the sources of the iconography and formal visual structures that found new expression in late 19th century chromolithographs showing deeds and their punishments"
