500			_aThis book brings together striking botanical art of Indian origin spanning a period of three hundred years, focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries. Drawn mostly from works held in the collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, some of the paintings have never been published before. They showcase the richness and variety of art commissioned from talented, mostly unknown, Indian artists who made a substantial contribution to the documentation of the flora of the Indian subcontinent. A foreword written by Sita Reddy places the collections in a contemporary context. The book concludes with works from a new generation of botanical artists in India, who excite interest today.
