EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed "Map of Southern India, 1898". Created as a colour lithograph by the English School in the 20th century, this map offers a glimpse into the rich cartography of that era. The vibrant colours and intricate lines bring to life the various islands and states that make up Southern India. From the Laccadive Islands to the Maldive Islands, every detail is meticulously depicted. The boundaries between countries and states are clearly marked, providing an accurate representation of geography at that time. One cannot help but be fascinated by the historical context surrounding this map. It reflects an important period when British influence was prominent in Asia, particularly within their empire known as British Raj. This connection is evident through references to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and its proximity to India. The Bay of Bengal takes center stage on this map, showcasing its significance as a major body of water in Asian history and trade routes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from a private collection, it serves as both an educational tool for understanding past geographies and a testament to human curiosity about our world's landscapes. With each glance at this mesmerizing image, one can't help but appreciate how far we have come in our knowledge of these regions since 1898.
