A collection of 83 watercolors, 15 of zoological subjects, most likely from Tamil Nadu, India, probably executed under European supervision, as the anglicized spelling of the vernacular (Tamil) name suggests; see K. M. Matthew and J. J. White, ''An album of 19th-century watercolors from India in the Hunt Institute.'' Huntia 9(2): 139-149. 1996.
Copy made from Pl. 112 Anchusa in Trew and Eisenberger's Herbarium Blackwellianum (Norimbergae, 1750-1773 [this plate issued 1750-1752])-the expanded version of Elizabeth Blackwell's Curious Herbal (London, 1737). Some details missing. Handwritten German text on reverse was copied from nos. 1-3 of the German text that appears as description for tab. 112 [text pp. issued 1752-1754] in volume 2 of HI copy.
290 watercolors bound in album. Another album with near-duplicate watercolors, held by Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, DC, is attributed to Magdalena Funck and dated 1692 (the Hunt Institute's copy is dated 1762).

Jahrhunderts (Marburg an der Lahn, Basilisken-Presse, 1998, pp. 201, 330-331).
