This detailed 18th-century copperplate engraved map by prominent French hydrographer Rigobert Bonne illustrates Northern India, the core territories of the Mughal Empire, Bengal, Tibet, and adjacent regions extending west into modern Afghanistan and east into Myanmar (Burma). Prepared for Guillaume Raynal's influential historical work, Histoire Philosophique et Politique des Établissements et du Commerce des Européens dans les Deux Indes, the map represents a high-water mark of French enlightenment cartography of South Asia. The map highlights significant geopolitical boundaries, river networks including the Ganges and Indus systems, and major administrative and commercial cities such as Delhi, Agra, Lahore, Kabul, Surat, and Calcutta. An enlarged inset map in the upper right quadrant provides a detailed navigational and political layout of the Ganges Delta (Bouches du Gange) and the European trading posts situated along the Hooghly River.
