This is an authentic 1773 engraving, published by Ernest van Harrevelt & Daniel Jean Changuion, after Bellin, for Harrevelt's "Atlas portatif pour servir à l'intelligence de l'histoire philosophique et politique des établissemens et du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes." See what India & Sri Lanka looked like 250 years ago. Hand colored. Verso is blank. Lots of intricate, charming details like mountains & rivers & older city names. All text is in French & Dutch. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
