This is a fine map of Coromandel by John Harrison taking in the south east portion of India. It is derived from that of d’Anville and is drawn by John Haywood and engraved by Thomas Bowen. The map depicts the major trading ports of the day including Madras (Chennai) and Pondicherry. The map can be found in a rare untitled atlas by Harrison an example of which resides in the British Library. Most of the maps are based on those of d’Anville who receives acknowledgement. Harrison was an engraver, printer and publisher who flourished from the mid-1780s to about 1815. Shirley (2004) T.Har 1a no. 11; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).
