Two small and detailed charts of the Indian Ocean depicting parts of Arabia, India, Sri Lanka, and the Maldive Islands. The charts locate numerous places along the coasts, and label major cities and regions such as Calcutta, Chennai (as Madras or Ft. St. George), Mangalore, Bombay, Hindostan, and Mysore. Three compass roses with radiating rhumb lines fill the seas. The charts were engraved for Rev. John Malham (1747-1821), a writer and teacher of navigation, for an American edition of Malham's The Naval Gazetteer; or, Seaman's Complete Guide.
