Two unjoined sheets make up this large chart of the Coromandel coast of India. Covers from about Bandar to Nagappattinam with a great amount of detail along the coast and the rivers. Rhumb lines, scale of miles and a simple title. On thick fine paper with some light foxing in very wide margins. Short separation in fold of lower sheet and one spot, overall a very crisp impression.
