"Geographical, Historical, and Statistical Map of India", Aspin/Lavoisne

This is the first American edition of this informative map of India, updated from the London edition of 1817 and published by M. Carey & Son. In addition to showing political divisions, towns, rivers, mountains, and other topographical features, the map notes the dates and locations of a plethora of battles and naval engagements as well as marking British possessions and dependencies. The map is surrounded by English text describing the nation's geographical features and history, with a list at bottom detailing the specifics of some of the battles shown in the map above. An alternate title, Hindoostan; or, India: Drawn from the Most Recent Authorities, for the Illustration of Lavoisne's Genealogical, Historical, Chronological, and Geographical Atlas, appears in a cartouche within the map. Originally engraved by Kneass and printed by T.H. Palmer. With surrounding text, the sheet measures 20.7 x 16.6."
