another organization is mentioned called Shura Lithographic Press (1829). This press took the initiative of
publishing a book with 15 pictures of humans and animals at the price of four taka.” It is surmised that
‘lithographic’ was translated in Bengali as ‘pathuria’. However, authors have referred to it as ‘Shura
Pathuria Press’.
