NYBG Coast of Coromandel Desk Address Book

This New York Botanical Garden address book features botanical illustrations of great beauty, delicacy, and ethereal colors from Plants of the Coast of Coromandel, a rare work of botanical research published in London from 1795 to 1819 depicting plants that grow on the broad coastal plain of the Bay of Bengal. Local Indian artists created the original illustrations of flowers, shrubs and trees, which were then engraved and hand colored in London, bringing images of an exotic world of plants to the West.

The address book has 13 tabbed sections, each decorated with a superb botanical illustration from Coast of Coromandel. A generous amount of space is provided for recording complete contact information for all your friends, family, and associates.

The illustrations are from the Rare Book Collection of the Mertz Library here at the Botanical Garden.
