This detailed steel-engraved map of British India was drawn and engraved by John Rapkin and published by the London Printing and Publishing Company around 1858. Published in the immediate aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the map serves as both a geographical reference and a historical record of British military presence across the subcontinent. It features distinct thematic markers for the Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, alongside military stations, civil stations, and early railway routes. Surrounding the central map are detailed side tables recording key 'Events of the Mutiny,' 'Dates of the Principal Massacres,' and 'Distances from Calcutta to the Principal Localities in which the Mutinies Have Taken Place,' providing critical context on pivotal siege sites such as Delhi, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and Meerut. Geographically, the coverage extends from Beloochistan and the Himalayas in the north down through the Deccan Plateau to Ceylon and the Maldive Islands. The map is embellished with J. Rapkin's signature intricate scrollwork and foliate border decoration.
