Carte des Costes de Perse, Gusarat, et Malabar

(South Asia Coast)

Issued c.1749, Paris by Prevost & Bellin

Fine original antique engraved map.

In Good+ to about VG or better condition, normal minor light age toning to sheet, a slight waviness to the sheet, and some mostly minor foxing, overall the image is very clean and attractive, given its age-- please inspect visual scan closely [note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws].

The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting and somewhat uncommon map.

Any minor defects along the sheet edges and in the margins may be seen in the photos.

Sheet measures c. 8 5/8" W x 11 1/2" H.

Engraved area measures c. 7 7/8" W x 9 5/8" H.
