A highly decorative and detailed mid 19th century map of Northern India which was drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin (vignettes by A. H. Wray & J. H. Kernot) and published in John Tallis’s Illustrated Atlas (London & New York: John Tallis & co, c.1851).

Illustrated are views of the British Residency in Hyderabad, the ruins of Old Delhi, a ‘Car of Juggernaut’, a tiger hunt and ‘Hindoos’ (an Indian man and woman).
