Diary of Alfred Gurton on a trip to India, 1918 via the Yale Center for British Art.
From the manuscript diary and herbarium compiled by Alfred Gurton, bound in black cloth. He informally describes the volume as a "Diary of a Trip to India," and writes in graphite throughout, on the lined pages of an exercise book. The text is interspersed with about 15 pages of preserved leaves and flowers of plants mounted in the form of a herbarium. Most specimens are unlabelled, although a couple of sheets give their origin in the Nilgiri Hills in South India.
