This finely detailed 19th-century map depicts Southern India, encompassing the Presidencies of Bombay and Madras, alongside Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and neighboring regions such as Gujarat and Beloochistan. Published as part of John Tallis's celebrated Illustrated Atlas, the map details administrative divisions, major river systems, topography, and principal coastal ports during the mid-19th century under British East India Company administration. Accompanying the geographical presentation are several artistic steel-engraved vignettes designed by A.H. Wray and engraved by J.H. Kernot. Notable scenes include Shuhur in Jeypoor, the Tomb of Sultan Mahomed Shah at Bejapoor, the Government House in Calcutta, and the official Seal of the East India Company. The sheet is enclosed in Tallis's trademark intricate architectural border.
