  • A Chart, In Relief, of British India.

    A fascinating stylized map of greater India, spanning from Himalayan mountains, west to Kabul, and south to Pegu on the coast, and "Ceylon" off the southern tip. It gives a very simplified and exaggerated understanding of the terrain and rivers, along with the major towns and cities, but distills a geographical impression that is useful. A surrounding history discusses the history of the East India Company.

    Condition is very good, with one or two supportive repairs to corner folds. Image size is approximately 20.75 x 14.25 (inches) with surrounding text.
