Rama and Sita

This black and white picture book is adapted from the Indian epic The Ramayana. The illustrations were inspired by the pioneer animator Lotte Reiniger. I watched her beautiful black and white shadow puppet films as a student.

  2. I really love these drawings. Saw a beautiful set of 18th-19th century ones at the British Library and it's the most fantastic story. Yours are lovely.
