Complete set of 12 maps showing all of India under the Raj. The last being a general index map of the subcontinent, the rest cover the country in much more detail, including an very nice map of Sri Lanka along with India's tip (Map I), and the region of Nepal on sheet X. All are crisp steel engravings with nice hand coloring (wash in seas) and keyboard style borders. Likely the most detailed 19th century maps of India.
