EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of India" published in 1877 under the guidance of Colonel H. R. Thuillier, the esteemed Surveyor General of India. Crafted with meticulous detail and precision, this colour lithograph offers a glimpse into the cartographic mastery of the 19th century English School. The map unfolds before our eyes, revealing an expansive territory that was once part of the British Empire. It depicts not only the geographical boundaries and territories within India but also extends to regions encompassing Pakistan today. The Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea dominate its periphery, reminding us of India's strategic location as a gateway between East and West. As we delve deeper into this visual treasure trove, we encounter names like Bay of Biscal and Baluchistan, evoking curiosity about their historical significance. This map serves as both an educational tool for geography enthusiasts and a testament to colonial influence on mapping practices during that era. Preserved in a private collection, this image invites contemplation on how maps have shaped our understanding of land divisions throughout time. Its presence reminds us that even though technology has revolutionized cartography since then, these antique prints continue to hold immense value in uncovering our past.
