A rapid, three-day, survey was made of the collection of botanical drawings in the Central National Herbarium (CNH) of the Botanical Survey of India, Howrah. The aims were to identify the major groups of work and establish their chronology, and to record the names of as many artists as possible, of which 33 were noted dating between c. 1787 and 1935.

Abstract


A rapid, three-day, survey was made of the collection of botanical drawings in the Central National Herbarium (CNH) of the Botanical Survey of India, Howrah. The aims were to identify the major groups of work and establish their chronology, and to record the names of as many artists as possible, of which 33 were noted dating between c. 1787 and 1935.
