This 2008 Sikhpoint calendar brings together a small selection of historical printed imagery from the Twin Studio Sikh Print Archive that highlights western interest in, and connection with, the Sikhs and Punjab from the early 19th to the mid 20th century
The archive, comprising several hundred original artifacts, is dedicated to documenting the history of Sikhs in print. It covers a variety of printed formats and techniques which record how Sikh imagery has developed against an ever evolving technology.
Whilst the majority of the collection focuses on Sikh themes depicted by artists from different cultural and religious backgrounds (Sikh Gurus and personages, places of worship or Gurdwaras, monuments, historical buildings, places and events directly connected with Sikhism), it also includes non-Sikh themes produced by Sikh artists.
The archive was begun in 1990 by twin sisters and Contemporary British artists Amrit and Rabindra Singh as part of their Ph.D. research into Sikh art and has developed over the years as their interest in Sikh iconography has continued to grow.
