Description
This volume is part of a significant historical record documenting India’s economic products displayed at the prestigious Calcutta International Exhibition of 1883-84. George Watt, a distinguished botanist and economic botanist, meticulously catalogued the diverse timber species and wood products representing India’s forestry wealth during the British colonial period.
The work serves as both a scientific reference and historical document, detailing the characteristics, properties, and commercial applications of various Indian timber species. It reflects the economic importance of India’s forests in the 19th century and provides valuable insights into timber trade, forestry practices, and the botanical diversity of the Indian subcontinent.
Published by Gyan Publishing House, this reprint makes this valuable historical resource accessible to modern scholars, historians, and anyone interested in India’s economic history and forestry heritage.
