Description
This landmark publication documents the extensive range of economic products exhibited by India at the prestigious Calcutta International Exhibition of 1883-84. Compiled by the renowned botanist and economic expert George Watt, this four-part series provides an exhaustive catalog of India’s most valuable natural resources and manufactured goods.
Part I focuses on gums and resins, exploring their extraction, properties, and commercial applications. Part II examines dyes, tans, and mordants—crucial materials for the textile and leather industries. Part III details various fibers and fiber products that formed the backbone of India’s textile economy.
This work represents an invaluable historical record of 19th-century India’s economic potential and industrial capacity. It documents detailed information about sourcing, processing, quality standards, and market applications of these products, making it essential for historians, economists, and scholars studying colonial India’s industrial heritage and natural resource management.
