Botanical Art from India - Henry J. Noltie - Bog - Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - Plusbog.dk

Botanical Art from India - Henry J. Noltie - Bog - Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - Plusbog.dk

The links between the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and India go back for two and a half centuries. Surgeons who had studied botany at the Garden laid the foundations of western knowledge of the Indian flora. Supplementing their written plant descriptions with botanical drawings, commissioned from Indian artists, they established collections which survive today at Edinburgh, the Natural History Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This book tells the story of these collections, reproducing a selection of 86 exquisite, original drawings – including examples made in all three of the Presidencies (administrative units) of British India (Bombay, Bengal and Madras), between 1770 and 1860.
