Hindostan

Thomas G. Bradford (1802-87) of Boston Massachusetts included this map in his first atlas, titled “A Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical and Commercial,” published in 1835. These skillfully created maps were hand colored, which adds to their classic, decorative appeal. A sage border surrounds this map of Hindostan ( India ). Pink, yellow, and green are used as outline colors throughout the body of the map. Counties, important cities, rivers, and bodies of water are identified.
