Description:
|
|
Finely engraved French map of the Moghul Empire based upon the celebrated ‘Baffin-Roe Map’.
This is the first regional map of India in English. It is sourced from primary documents obtained personally by its author Thomas Roe and was drawn by one of the greatest Polar explorers, William Baffin. Such is its importance, fame and influence that it is one of the few cartographic documents that has its own name: the Baffin-Roe Map.
