"Carte des Cotes de Malabar et de Coromandel Presentee au Roy", Delisle/Covens & Mortier

A striking map of southern India showing the Malabar Coast, the Gulf of Cambay and the mouth of the Ganges. It extends to the Lakshadweep Islands, a portion of the Maldives and the northern tip of Sri Lanka. Cities, trade routes and topography are detailed with notes on the Dutch and English colonies along the coast. A pair of deftly engraved compass roses and a decorative cartouche complete the composition. There is an alternate Latin title above the map: "Orarum Malabar Coromandelae, &c. Tabula Accuratissima."
