A scarce and interesting map of Indian Empire, printed in an innovative technique of embossed style on “plasticised” card to illustrate the physical relief of continent.

This map is a fascinating tactile creation that allow us to feel the river valleys, plateaus, hills and mountains of the world, well detailed for place names, borders and even land quality, as it was known in the 1885. The map itself is composed of a sturdy pressed paper with a card border to protect the raised embossed detail. The lithographic color amplifies the map visually, and has remained strong. An amazing early “raised-relief” map.
