Zustand: As New. 240, 170 col illus. 4to. HB. Fine copy in d/w. This book is about a remarkable collection of botanical drawings belonging to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The watercolours were commissioned by Alexander Gibson, and East India Company surgeon, and depict plants grown in the botanic gardens under his control in the Bombay Presidency. They are the work of an unknown Portuguese-Indian artist between 1847-1850. The 170 drawings are reproduced in the same order as they appear in the 'Bombay Flora', which Gibson co-authored with Nicholas Dalzell. Chapters on Gibson's life and work. [9781851494224].…

Hard covers, dust jacket. Zustand: V.g. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st edition. Nearly new. Though the bulk of the book includes colour reproductions of botanical drawings of both indigenous and introduced Indian plants by an unknown Portuguese-Indian artist, the introductory material tells a meticulously researched story of discovery of the almost secret life of a Scottish surgeon turned colonial forest administrator and (in effect) director of one of the British East India Company's least known and shortest-lived botanic gardens at Dapuri near Mumbai (Bombay). Henry Noltie's languid yet engaging style belies an acuteness of observation; combining identifications of the illustrations with biographical research into Gibson's family, this book is perhaps the most authoritative monograph of botanical art history to have appeared so far this century.
