This impressive early 19th-century map depicts the Indian subcontinent during a period of rapidly expanding British colonial influence. Published in Philadelphia by Mathew Carey & Son for the American edition of C.V. Lavoisne's Genealogical, Historical, Chronological, and Geographical Atlas, the map was drawn by Jehoshaphat Aspin and engraved by Joseph Yeager. It highlights regional divisions, major river networks, coastal ports, and mountain ranges, utilizing hand-colored outlines to distinguish British territories, native kingdoms, and foreign European settlements. Flanking the central map are detailed letterpress columns covering India's physical geography, climate, natural produce, religious demographics, and political history up to the early 19th century. Below the map, a chronological table enumerates remarkable battles and sieges across the subcontinent following the invasion of Genghis Khan.
