More Information

This is Karl von Spruner's 1865 map of India and Southeast Asia in antiquity. This map covers the entire subcontinent as well as Southeast Asia, Sumatra, and Ceylon. In addition to the main map, there are five insets. The upper left inset offers a general view of the region from Arabia to Sumatra including the Indian Ocean. The lower left inset maps reveal India as it was depicted in antiquity by the Alexandrian cartographer Ptolemy and in the ancient Roman map known as the Peutinger Table. The upper right hand map is an early Renaissance take on Ptolemy in which India has been reduced and Taprobane, or Ceylon, is increased to vast proportions. In general this map labels important cities, rivers, mountain ranges and some other topographical details. Territories and countries outlined in color. The whole is rendered in finely engraved detail exhibiting throughout the fine craftsmanship of the Perthes firm.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.

Great heavy paper quality and clarity of my nautical map. Will be a great addition to our home close to the beach!
