From the Malayan Bearcat to flying lizards and the winghead shark, these exquisite 200-year-old paintings take you on a journey across the lands, waters and skies of Singapore and the Malay peninsula.
Painted in the early 19th century, the watercolours provide a glimpse into the fascinating fauna of the region.
Enthralled by the plants and creatures of the region, William Farquhar, the Commandant and Resident of Melaka and Singapore under the British Empire, commissioned local artists to capture them on paper.
Now owned by the National Museum of Singapore, a selection of these works is touring beyond the Singapore's shores for the first time.
Find these exquisite works in the Museum of Economic Botany, located in the heart of Adelaide Botanic Garden.
