Grindlay” and published in 1838 by James Wyld, geographer to the Queen.The map shows the individual states in different colours, with names of towns underlined to indicate stations of the Bengal, Bombay and Madras Armies, all listed in separate tables cross-referenced to the map. The table also list, where appropriate, collectorates and zillahs, as well as civil stations in the North Western and Bengal provinces. A separate table lists British territories, British allies and tributaries, and the independent states of Hindoostan.

In this version the whole map is backed onto cloth in one piece but the gaps between the sections have been reproduced in the printing to preserve the style and the feeling of the original. Each individual map is presented folded in a colourful case covered with a unique design marbled paper ‘“ no two cases are identical.To see the list of all the titles in this series from the Old Folding Maps please click on the series link.
