Outline coloured, large-scale folding map of India by James Wyld that was published to be sold separately in the year of the Indian Rebellion against the rule of the British East India Company. The map has an enormous amount of detail in both the cartography of the Indian sub-continent and tables surrounding the map. India is divided into states with each one identified in a key (bottom left) by its outline colour as either a (i) British Possession (ii) Subsidiary State (iii) Protected State or (iv) Independent State. Other information shown in the keys and tables surrounding the map include the location and area in square miles of Military Stations, Civil Stations, Zillahs (Administrative Districts) and Collectorates (District Revenue Collection Offices) throughout the sub-continent; population and area in square miles of the regions of Hindoostan; railways – both completed and in process (sanctioned); and Stations of the Bengal, Bombay and Madras Armies. A small world map in the bottom right displays the extent of the mid-19th century British Empire with its territories highlighted in pink. This folding map has been backed with linen and is in very good condition. 84 cm x 67.5 cm
