EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Coast of Western India from Bombay to Karachi, compiled chiefly from surveys made by order of the honorable East India Company in 1867. Created by James Imray & Son, this intricate blue-backed chart showcases the detailed coastline with a scale of approximately 1:750,000.
The print features two joined sheets and includes insets of Bombay Harbour (circa 1:125,000) and Karachi (circa 1:40,000). Sailing directions for Karachi Harbour are printed in red below the Karachi inset, adding an extra layer of information to this historical map.
The meticulous cartography displayed in this print provides a glimpse into the early nineteenth century maritime navigation along the Indian coast. The imagery highlights key coastal landmarks and shorelines that were vital for sailors and traders during that time period.
From bustling Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) to vibrant Karachi, this print offers a unique perspective on the rich history and geography of these important port cities. It serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on the intricate mapping techniques used by explorers and navigators in the late nineteenth century.
