Antique Map of Northern India and the Bengal Gulf by Mallet, 1686
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a fine example of 17th or early 18th-century cartography, showcasing Southeast Asia, including parts of India, China, and the Gulf of Bengal. The French-labeled map highlights early European understanding of the Orient during the Age of Exploration.
Mounted in a soft cream matting board, the presentation enhances the map’s historical appeal while protecting its delicate condition.
The map features detailed geographical elements such as rivers, coastal lines, and mountain ranges. Regions like Tartarie, the Presqu'Isle de l'Inde, and the Golfe de Bengala are illustrated with early cartographic precision. Subtle hand-coloring highlights borders and coastal areas, adding to its visual charm.
In terms of condition, the map is well-preserved with clean paper with some waterdamage in the top, light toning, intact margins, and no visible tears or damage. The hand-coloring remains vibrant, reflecting careful handling over centuries.
This map provides insight into the evolving European knowledge of Asia and would make a distinguished addition to any collection of antique maps or historical artifacts.
