Large and attractive later hand coloured map of Sri Lanka and the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, with an elaborate cartouche showing an elephant and elaborately clothed indigenous people.
The map includes towns, roads, rivers, mountains, lakes, etc. An explanation of the map includes notations of various flags of England, Denmark, France, Holland and Portugal along the coast, delineating the various European trading posts along the southern coastline of India, over 20 in all, plus fortified towns. A fascinating map.
