Based on John Rennell's map of India, this is an extremely rare map of India by John Cary. It extends from Kabul and Kashmir in the North to Ceylon in the South and from West Persia to Burma in the East. This map has exemplary details of noteworthy villages, cities, river ways, religious sites and trade routes with original hand coloured outlines.

"John Cary (c. 1754 - 1835) was an English cartographer. Cary served his apprenticeship as an engraver in London, before setting up his own business in the Strand in 1783. He soon gained a reputation for his maps and globes, his atlas, The New and Correct English Atlas published in 1787, becoming a standard reference work in England. In 1794 Cary was commissioned by the Postmaster General to survey England's roads. This resulted in Cary's New Itinerary (1798), a map of all the major roads in England and Wales. He also produced Ordnance Survey maps prior to 1805. In his later life he collaborated on geological maps with the geologist William Smith." (Source: Wikipedia)
