notes:
Superbly detailed wall map of India during the days of the British Raj.
The map stretches from Afghanistan in the west to Burma in the east and from the Punjab in the north to Sri Lanka in the south. The map shows the vast scale of the British Raj, its network of client states, together with extensive network of railway lines. British colonies are coloured red, independent states yellow, French possessions blue, Portuguese green, and frontier states light green. ...
