A pair of highly detailed maps of India by the French Royal cartographer Rigobert Bonne (his predecessor was the eminent Jacques Nicolas Bellin). The first sheet shows the northern portion of the subcontinent, reaching from Kandahar (modern-day Afghanistan) in the west across northern India and Pakistan, and stretching east to Burma (Pegu) and the second encompasses Southern India (including Ceylon/Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia, and the East Indies (Maritime Southeast Asia). They feature critical coastal and marine navigation details typical of Bonne's scientific approach to mapping. A most attractive pair of maps.
