<br/><br/> This essay focuses on a set of botanical drawings called the Roxburgh Icones produced between 1776 and 1813 at the Calcutta botanic garden under the supervision of its Superintendent, the East India Company Naturalist William Roxburgh. It highlights the aesthetics behind these images whereby traditional techniques of miniature painting came to serve the functional requirements of scientific diagrams. The pages are pictorial notations that convey taxonomic information without invoking the unity of a picture.
