Unusual plan of Cochin (Kochi), which is located on the west cost of India in the state of Kerala. Cochin was the battleground of European powers for the mastery of the lucrative trade of the Malabar Coast. The plan shows the city at the time of it being taken from the Portuguese by Dutch Admiral van Goens circa 1661. Decorated with a compass rose orienting north to the bottom right of the map, as well as several ships.
