About the Item
Johnson’s Hindostan or British India Map, USA c.1864 – Hand-Colored
This is a finely engraved and hand-colored map titled Johnson’s Hindostan or British India, published by Johnson and Ward in New York circa 1864. It depicts the Indian subcontinent during the British colonial period, showing political divisions, provinces, and major cities with clarity. Regions displayed include India, Burma (Myanmar), Siam (Thailand), Nepal, Bhutan, and Ceylon (Sri Lanka), with pastel pink and green wash coloring highlighting boundaries.
The map features several detailed insets:
– Island & Town of Bombay (Mumbai)
– Madras (Chennai)
– Calcutta (Kolkata)
There is also a vignette illustration of Government House and Treasury, Calcutta, in the upper left corner, adding visual interest and historical context.
Cities and features shown include Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Hyderabad, Delhi, Lahore, Rangoon, and extensive river systems such as the Ganges and Brahmaputra. The map is surrounded by Johnson’s signature decorative border with interlaced geometric and floral motifs.
Johnson and Ward were leading American atlas publishers during the mid-19th century, known for combining accuracy with decorative presentation. Their maps of India are valued for documenting the region during the British Raj, shortly after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and the transition to Crown rule in 1858.
