Printing in Calcutta to 1800 by Graham Shaw is a detailed study of the early history of printing in Calcutta (now Kolkata) during the late 18th century. The book explores the introduction of the printing press in British India, the establishment of the first presses, and the production of books, newspapers, and official publications up to 1800. It highlights the role of missionaries, British administrators, and local scholars in shaping the print culture of the time.
