Antique Map of India ? Post Roads and Dak Stations by James Wyld, c.1855 This impressive antique map titled "India Shewing the Post Roads and Dak Stations" was engraved and published by James Wyld, Geographer to the Queen and H.R.H. Prince Albert, around 1855. It offers a detailed and comprehensive view of the Indian subcontinent during the height of British colonial rule, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure?particularly communication and postal routes. The map meticulously charts the entire network of post roads and dak stations (mail relay points) that connected British India, facilitating governance, military coordination, and trade. It also highlights newly established telegraph lines, reflecting the rapid modernization of colonial logistics in the mid-19th century. Colored lines differentiate the types of political territories, including British-controlled regions, protected states, subsidiary states, and independent states, with a color key located in the lower-left corner. Geographically, the map covers the full extent of the Indian subcontinent, stretching from Afghanistan and Punjab in the northwest to Burma in the east, and from the Himalayas in the north down to southern India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Major rivers, cities, administrative regions, and coastal features are all finely engraved, providing an extraordinarily detailed snapshot of the subcontinent just before the Indian Rebellion of 1857. James Wyld (1812?1887) was among the most prominent British cartographers of the Victorian era. Known for both his accuracy and artistic presentation, Wyld's maps were widely used by government officials, military personnel, merchants, and scholars. This map in particular would have been a key administrative tool, combining geographic precision with vital postal and telegraphic information. Condition: Very good condition. Original hand-coloring. Minor age toning and faint foxing at the outer margins. No tears or repairs. Strong impression on quality paper with clean detail throughout. Framing tips: This map is best presented in a large traditional frame in dark wood or black with gold accents. A cream or light grey mat will highlight the delicate coloring and fine engraving. Technique: Copperplate engraving with original hand color Maker: James Wyld, London, c.1855. …
