A Flower From Every Meadow: Indian paintings from American Collections by Stuart Cary Welch (1973)

Published to accompany the landmark spring-1973 exhibition at New York’s Asia House Gallery, this richly illustrated catalogue gathers 82 colour and black-and-white plates drawn from museums and private owners across the United States. Each miniature—Mughal, Rajasthani, Pahari, Deccani and more—is documented with Welch’s concise stylistic notes, provenance, and dating, while Mark Zebrowski provides additional historical commentary.

Features include:

• Scholarly apparatus: full catalogue entries, a selected bibliography, and index.

• First-edition hardback produced to a high standard by A. Colish for the Asia Society and distributed by New York Graphic Society; contemporary sources note a limited press run.

• Square quarto format (approx. 26 × 24 cm) that showcases the miniatures at a generous scale without compromising detail.

Long out of print, A Flower from Every Meadow remains an essential reference for curators, collectors, and anyone studying the aesthetics and iconography of Indian miniature painting in Western collections.
