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