Hyde Collection
NHD50/1
A miscellaneous collection of 20 paintings of flowers and fruit.
By Indian artists working in Murshidabad and Calcutta, c.1806. Collected by Lieut-Colonel James Chicheley Hyde.
Many inscribed with vernacular names and numbered, the inscriptions and numbers on the back of the drawings suggesting that they are parts of larger sets.
Water-colour; various sizes.
Nos. 1-7 (approx 240 by 195 mms,) have narrow brown borders and are inscribed with names in a copper-plate hand.
Nos. 8-16 (approx. 270 by 210 mms) have narrow black borders.
Nos. 17-20 are by various hands.
Presented by the Thomas Coram Foundation for Children, London, 16 January 1973.
Note: Hyde's collection of natural history drawings was probably made during his first years in India for a number of them (e.g. nos.17-19) bear a strong resemblance to paintings by Calcutta artists in the collection of Marquis Wellesley (NHD10-36) which was formed between 1798 and 1805. Drawings with black borders were probably made by artists at Murshidabad.
