Birds of India: Company Paintings
Published by DAG, Birds of India is a scholarly art volume that examines a rare, historically significant collection of 19th-century Company Paintings. These intricate works—commissioned by British patrons and executed by master Indian artists—represent a critical juncture where Indian artistic precision met European scientific documentation.
The design mandate was to create a publication that functions simultaneously as a rigorous art-historical monograph and a breathtaking visual catalog. The layout honours the delicate brushwork of the historical milieu while establishing a clean, structured template for modern art scholarship.
