It is a fine, original example of 18th century cartography.

Title:	An Accurate Map of India (18th Century)
Geographer:	Rollos, George, London
Date:	1767
Medium:	Original Engraving
Source:	Mortimer's Atlas of Trade and Commerce, London
Note:	This map entitled, "An Accurate Map of India" hails from Thomas Mortimer's "Atlas of Trade and Commerce", published in London in 1767. Many of the maps in this series were based upon the "Sieur Robert Atlas", published in Paris between 1750 and 1765. George Rollos was the London geographer responsible for adapting the maps for an English audience as well as making any necessary changes based upon new discoveries or changing political divisions. George Rollos also engraved the majority of the maps, with Gibson and others engraving the remainder. Some of the larger maps were folded in order to be place in the Atlas.
	Original maps from the eighteenth century are distinctly different from those that followed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With their complex outline colourings and highly decorative cartouches, these maps can be viewed as either geographical and political histories or as beautiful works of art. One is immediately intrigued not only by the speculations on unexplored lands but by the changes in counties and territories throughout the western world. There is an ever changing story in national borders.
	Unfortunately, eighteenth century maps are very scarce. These were the days before lithography and steel and wood engraving -- methods, which in the nineteenth century made large editions of prints possible. A copper plate engraving, such as this original example, could yield at best about two hundred impressions before wearing down the plate. Thus these important maps are valuable not only for their age but for their rarity.
