Comparisons of the original ink drawings made in India (now in the British Library) with copper plate engravings in the published volumes suggest that, besides two Dutch artists identified in by van Rheede (Antoni Jacobz Goetkint and Marcelius Splinter), unidentified Indian artists were intimately involved in creating the original drawings. The images of a Malabar male, on the left in the original drawing has become more Europeanized in the copper plate engraving done in the Netherlands.
