Krátky popis
This is a wonderfully illustrated and evocative look at the natural
history of the Malay Peninsula. Now for the first time, all 477
drawings of the flora and fauna of the Malay Peninsula commissioned
by Colonel William Farquhar during his time as British Resident and
Commandant of Malacca from 1803 to 1818, are published in one
volume. Covering a wide spectrum of species, the evocative
paintings were rendered in brilliant watercolour by Chinese artists
who employed both Chinese and Western painting techniques.In an era
when photography was non-existent, the only means of recording
nature and wildlife was through painting. Accompanied by
authoritative essays and detailed captions, ",Natural History
Drawings", is a fascinating window both into the natural history of
the time and the 19th-century British settlement in the Malay
Peninsula.
