EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic "Map of India in 1757" that was published around 1912. Taken from the renowned book "The Romance of India" edited by Herbert Strang, this exquisite piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and geographical expanse of the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century. The intricately detailed map highlights various regions, cities, rivers, and seas that played significant roles in shaping India's history. The Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal flank either side of Hindoostan (as it was known then), reminding us of its strategic coastal position. Western script labels provide clarity to locations while adding an English touch to this historical artifact. Printed as an engraving on monochrome paper, this image captures the essence of a bygone era. It transports viewers back to a time when cartography served as both artistry and documentation. The fine craftsmanship is evident in every line etched onto the page. As we admire this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of India's vastness but also its literary contributions throughout centuries. This visual representation invites us to delve deeper into Indian literature, culture, and history – all encapsulated within one frame. Preserved with care by The Print Collector29 for future generations to appreciate, this snapshot serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with exploring different lands through maps – connecting us with our past while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond our own borders.
