FINLAYSON COLLECTION
George Finlayson (1790-1823) was the Surgeon accompanying John Crawfurd's embassy to Siam and Cochin China.
---------------------
WD972-1000; WD1011
30 drawings by various artists, depicting physical types, landscapes, boats, and antiquities, dated from November 1821 to December 1822. Some drawings may have been made by Edward Reid, whose paintings were used for engravings in John Crawfurd's account of the embassy.
The drawings were mounted c.1879 in a scrapbook and confused with Horsfield's Java drawings (WD957-959), from which they have now been separated. The red numbers on the drawings were inscribed at this time. Other numbers, e.g. ‘F.24,’ probably mean ‘Finlayson 24’ and were inscribed when the Finlayson collection was received in the Library.
1820 water-marks.
Deposited 1823, together with the natural history drawings in NHD5.

---------------------
NHD5/671-751
Eighty drawings in water-colour and pencil, 3 of which are unfinished, depicting 43 birds, 14 mammals (including 2 duplicates; no.714 not used), 12 fishes, 2 arthropods, 1 echinoderm, 5 reptilia, 1 amphibia and 2 skulls from Siam, Cochin China and the East Indies; bound in a volume measuring 21 by 14 inches. NHD5/714 is numbered but left blank.
These drawings were collected by George Finlayson (1790-1823) (see Archer's Natural History Drawings in the India Office Library, pp.48-51) between November 1821 and December 1822 during John Crawfurd's Mission to Siam and Cochin China, which Finlayson accompanied as surgeon and naturalist. The drawings are illustrations to the Zoological Catalogue (Mss Eur D136) which accompanied the specimens sent to the Company's Museum in 1823.
Many of the drawings are inscribed, 'Siam, Finlayson', and No.699 is inscribed 'Sichang Islands'. One of the drawings from this set, later named ‘Phasianus crawfurdii’, seems to have been borrowed by John Gould when producing his’ Birds of Asia’ (1850, and is now with other Gould drawings at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas, numbered PI 0240. “In his Birds of Asia (part XII, June 1st. 1850, bound as plate 21 in volume 1) Gould depicts the male of the Siamese Fireback Pheasant and tells how Sir Robert Schomburgk obtained the specimen to send to him. Gould employed the name ‘Diardigallus praelatus’ on the plate. In a vignette in a corner of this plate are two small pheasants and it is here that “‘crawfurdii’” comes in. Gould wrote that when he had inspected the “large collection of drawings at the East India House, I noticed one of a bird I had never seen, and which was said to have been made by Finlayson in Siam some forty years ago.” Gould wrote that he traced the drawing and sent [the tracing] to Sir Robert. Clearly he never returned the drawing that he had borrowed to trace” (information supplied by Edward C. Dickinson, Secretary, The Trust for Oriental Ornithology). This removal might be represented by the blank page NHD5/714.
