INDIA Southern Map Provinces Railways Relief Coast 1910 Antique Engraved Map

This finely engraved and color-tinted 1910 antique map of southern India presents a detailed view of the subcontinent under British colonial administration. Provinces and princely states are clearly outlined in subtle hand color, with railways, rivers, mountain ranges, and coastal features carefully delineated. The map includes Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, with the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea framing the region and emphasizing India’s maritime importance in global trade.

Published in 1910 and drawn and engraved by Justus Perthes of Gotha, Germany, one of the most respected cartographic publishers of the era, this map exemplifies exceptional European atlas engraving. Perthes maps are renowned for their precision, elegant line work, and authoritative geographic detail. Measuring approximately 11.5 x 16.5 inches, this example is blank on the reverse and retains its original center fold, as issued, making it a visually striking and historically significant document of early 20th-century Indian cartography.
