Dealer Notes
Yakushi F115: “Two botanists, Ludlow and Sherriff, explored extensively in the remote field of the Eastern Himalaya. It includes the botanical expeditions: NE-Bhutan in 1933, Tibet and East Bhutan in 1934, Black mountains of Central Bhutan in 1937, temperate and alpine Bhutan in 1949, &etc.” Taylor (1904-93), a director of Kew, joined Ludlow and Sherriff in Tibet; he signed this copy of the book, contributing an ‘Historical Introduction’. The book's subsequent owner, Michael Ward, was a member of the 1951 and 1953 Everest expeditions. The long note by him at the front relates his meetings with Ludlow and Taylor.
