This page periodically covers botanical art exhibitions in countries in Asia. I'm hoping to extend coverage to ALL countries where botanical art occurs but this depends on being notified of exhibitions.
Past botanical exhibitions in China, Japan, South Korea and Jordan can be viewed on the ARCHIVE PAGE. |
If you have an exhibition which deserves to be highlighted please contact me with the details - please see the form at the bottom of the page.

The Cleghorn Collection: South Indian Botanical Drawings 1845 to 1860
by Henry Noltie
by Henry Noltie
  Dr Henry Noltie is a historical researcher employed by the Royal; Botanic Garden Edinburgh
He's particularly interested in the history of collections and the history of botany in India. His work has concentrated on the RBGE collections, especially the botanical drawings made by Indian artists for Scottish East India Company surgeons. |
More than 200 of the drawings from the Cleghorn Collection are reproduced in this book, in colour, for the first time. These include drawings from nature, copies based on European prints, and Nature Prints made from herbarium specimens.
They are the work of several South Indian artists and of pupils of the pioneering Madras School of Art. Cleghorn is one of the major benefactors of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. His bequeathed his substantial Indian herbarium to RBGE. His outstanding collection of books relating to forestry and botany (dating back to 1582) and drawings of plants and trees were divided between the University of Edinburgh and what became the National Museum of Scotland. The latter share was transferred to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) in 1940. |
