INDIA IN MAPS: FOUR CENTURIES OF CARTOGRAPHY - PART III: EASTERN INDIA (12 MARCH 2026)

 The present East sale brings together fifty-eight lots tracing the cartographic construction of Eastern India and the Bay of Bengal from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. From early European visions by Münster, Ortelius, and Mercator to monumental Dutch VOC sea charts, these maps reveal the region as a vital crossroads of trade, empire, and exploration. The empirical surveys of D’Anville and Rennell, followed by nineteenth-century political mapping and crisis cartography of 1857, chart Bengal’s rise as an imperial core. Rare modern railway, index, and Indian-printed maps conclude this structured visual history of geography and power.
