About the Item

1782 Bayly Map of the East Indies – India, Siam, Philippines, Java, Borneo, Ganges This finely engraved and vibrantly hand-colored map titled 'A New Map of the East Indies' was drawn by John Bayly and published in London by Harrison Co. on June 1, 1782. The map spans the region from Persia and Afghanistan in the northwest to New Guinea and the western Pacific in the southeast, focusing on Southeast Asia and the Bay of Siam. The map covers a broad and historically rich area, including India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Burma (Myanmar), Siam (Thailand), Malacca (Malaysia), Sumatra, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, and parts of China, including Canton. It includes important colonial and trade centers of the 18th century, such as Batavia (Jakarta), Goa, and Manilla. Notably, Singapore is not yet named, but Johor (spelled "Johr") is marked, reflecting the geopolitical landscape of the time. An elegant inset in the upper right corner provides a detailed view of the Mouths of the Ganges, showing Calcutta and the river delta with an intricate depiction of river branches and settlements. The map is drawn on a Mercator projection and includes latitude and longitude markings with a scale at bottom. This is an uncommon and desirable piece for collectors interested in 18th-century cartography, maritime trade history, or the colonial period in Asia. Bayly's map offers a valuable snapshot of European understanding of the East Indies during the late Enlightenment era. The map features strong plate impressions, vivid original hand coloring, and finely engraved detail throughout. The condition is very good with light age toning, original fold lines, and only minimal margin wear. It is printed on laid paper, typical of the period. Here are short tips for framing this 1782 Bayly map of the East Indies: - Use acid-free mat and backing to protect the paper - Choose a light cream or ivory mat to highlight the hand coloring - A simple dark wood or black frame complements the antique style - Consider float mounting to show the full plate and any original folds - Use UV-protective glass to prevent fading - Keep the map away from direct sunlight and humidity for preservation Keywords: East Indies map 1782, John Bayly, Harrison Co., antique map of Asia, Ceylon, Siam, Batavia, Malacca, Ganges River map, Southeast Asia, Philippines, India, Java, Borneo, colonial trade, Mercator projection, 18th-century cartography, engraved map, British mapmaker, historical geography
