This catalogue meticulously details specimens of timber, bamboos, canes, and other forest produce sourced from government-managed forests across India, including provinces under the Government of India and the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay. Prepared under the guidance of Sir Dietrich Brandis, the catalogue accompanied exhibits sent to the Paris Exhibition of 1878.
It provides an extensive overview of the diverse range of forest resources available in the region during the late 19th century. A valuable historical record, the catalogue provides insights into forestry practices, resource management, and the economic importance of timber and related products within British India. Researchers in forestry, botany, and economic history will find this an informative primary source.
