Dimensions: 42.5 x 54.3 inches (108 x 138 cm)
This magnificent two-sheet map extends in the north from southeastern Iran across to Bhutan and Assam, and all the way to the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent including all of Ceylon. The Ganges plain and southern India are quite detailed, with hills, roads, and towns. Central India labeled “Mahrattas Dominions” is left rather blank except for a few hills and rivers. The area south of the Ganges plain is labeled “Rajahs and Poligars, little known and in a manner independent.”
Condition: This four sheet map is partly joined into top and bottom halves. Damage to the paper including tears and discoloring is largely confined to the edges of the sheets. Joining and restoration services are available for an additional cost.
