A propos de cet article
Description :
Handcoloured steel engraved map, 29.5 x 39 cms (including platemark); 34.5 x 41 cms (sheet), relief throughout shown by hachures, publisher's or binder's stamp (105) top right, the margins a little browned and chipped, butin very good condition. This exceptionally detailed sheet delineates the immense northern plains of the Indian subcontinent, specifically highlighting Oudh (Awadh), Bihar, and Allahabad. The map?s perspective reaches from the historic commercial and spiritual heart of Benares (Varanasi) in the south, climbing due north into the Himalayas, with a significant portion of the map given to a sparsely travelled and little-known Nepal. Following the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814?1816) and the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli, Nepal?s rulers made a strategic decision to protect their sovereignty: they closed their borders completely to all foreign travellers.
