NHD36
18.5 by 12 inches. 72 ff. in water-colour depicting Indian fishes. 1794 watermark. A dorsal view and dissections are sometimes given in addition to the lateral view. In addition to the Latin name, the vernacular name in Persian and Roman scripts is also given.
These paintings are very similar to those in Dr. Buchanan's Collection (Mss Eur E72) and may well have been made for Wellesley by Buchanan's painter. Some drawings are almost identical. Compare Wellesley ff.15 and 30 with ff.46 and 39 Buchanan.
