A miscellaneous collection of 30 folios of natural history drawings: 24 of birds (one including an amphibian), 1 of fishes, 4 of quadrupeds and 1 of birds and animals together. Collected by Lieutenant-Colonel James Chicheley Hyde.
By Indian artists working in Murshidabad and Calcutta, c.1806-10.
Some inscribed with names in English, others with vernacular names in Persian script.
Note: The drawings are by several different hands and are parts of larger sets. 1-4 have narrow black borders, 5-8 a black rule round the edge, 10-21, 25-28 are by the same group of artists who painted birds and animals for Marquis Wellesley, 29 and 30 have heavy black borders similar to the sets of houses landscapes and festivals also in Hyde's collection (see Add.Or.3188-3212). Nos.9, 22-24 are miscellaneous. A number of drawings are duplicated in the Wellesley collection. Compare nos. 13, 20 and 21 with NHD26, f.36, NHD29, f.92 and NHD29, f.93.
