This impressive, large-scale map covers the region from Delhi to the boundary with Assam. It is filled with an incredible amount of detail and adorned by a large title cartouche featuring a river god, wild animals and native peoples. The map was originally drawn by James Rennell, the Surveyor General of the East India Company and published by Faden in 1786. This is the second edition, published by James Wyld, successor to William Faden. Wyld maintained the high standard of graphic and factual excellence that had been established by his predecessor and his maps are among the finest published in the early nineteenth century. Printed on two sheets, unjoined, as issued; size is for each sheet.
