Description
Economic Products of India: Exhibited in the Economic Court, Calcutta International Exhibition, 1883-84 is the fifth volume in a series focused on medicinal products. This authoritative work by George Watt provides detailed documentation of India’s pharmaceutical wealth and traditional medicinal resources as they were presented to an international audience in late 19th century Calcutta.
The volume systematically catalogs the diverse range of medicinal plants, herbs, and pharmaceutical preparations that were considered economically significant to India during this period. It represents a valuable historical snapshot of India’s medicinal product industry, including indigenous healing practices, botanical resources, and commercial pharmaceutical development. This work is essential for scholars of Indian history, ethnobotany, traditional medicine, pharmaceutical history, and colonial-era economics.
Gyan Publishing House’s reprint preserves this important historical document, making it accessible to modern researchers and historians interested in India’s economic history, natural resources, and the intersection of traditional and modern medicine in the colonial period.
