Original Hand-colored Antique Map of the Southern Part of India

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Orarum Malabariae, Coromandelae &c Tabula Accuratissima - Carte des Cotes de Malabar et de Coromandel'. Beautiful map of the southern part of India. It focuses on trade routes within India, as well as the Coromandel and Malabar Coasts. The map shows the Indian subcontinent, from Gujarat and Bengal south. The northern tip of Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, peeks out of the southern border. To the west, the Maldives dot the waters off the Malabar coast. Rivers, including the mighty Ganges, are indicated, as our mountain ranges. Political boundaries are outlined, with settlements marked by circles or small buildings. Trade routes snake across the terrain, indicated by double dashed lines. They radiate from areas rich in resources, such as the diamond mine of Raolconda [part of the Golconda diamond mines], or from cities at the crossroads of commerce, such as Amandabat [Ahmedabad]. Published by Covens & Mortier, circa 1725.
