Description
This seminal work by George Watt provides an exhaustive examination of India’s economic products exhibited at the prestigious Calcutta International Exhibition of 1883-84. The publication is organized into four detailed parts, each focusing on specific categories of Indian commodities that were significant to the nation’s economy and trade during the British colonial period.
Part I covers gums and resins, essential materials used in various industrial applications. Part II explores dyes, tans, and mordants—substances crucial for textile and leather industries. Part III and IV detail fibers and fiber-yielding plants, which formed the backbone of India’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors. This historical documentation serves as an invaluable resource for understanding 19th-century Indian commerce, botanical resources, and industrial capabilities, offering insights into the economic landscape during a transformative period in Indian history.
