NYBG Coast of Coromandel Shopping Organizer

Here’s an elegant way to plan your errands and shopping trips. The exquisite images of yellow flower clusters and heart-shaped leaves of the exotic Indian linden on the front and back covers of this shopping organizer are from Plants of the Coast of Coromandel, a rare and beautiful early 19th-century botanical work depicting plants that grow on the broad coastal plain of the Bay of Bengal. Local Indian artists created the original illustrations of flowers, shrubs and trees, which were then engraved and hand colored in London, bringing images of an exotic world of plants to the West.

The shopping organizer is a convenient carry-along size, with a notepad of 40 sheets and a coupon file with 6 accordion pockets. There is a holder for your pen or pencil, and an elastic closure to keep everything together.

The illustrations are from the Rare Book Collection of the Mertz Library here at the Botanical Garden.
