Large engraved map (overall c.1230 x 1450 cm) with original outline hand-colour, dissected into 36 panels joined on 4 sheets, backed onto linen with pale blue silked edges, contained in original marbled paper covered chemise and matching calf-backed slipcase, with paper label of D'Artaria & Compagnie, rue Kohlmarky, no.1219, Vie…nne, Magasin de Cartes Geographiques pasted to verso of map and similarly lettered in gilt to slipcase spine, Some offsetting most noticeable at the decorative cartouche on NW section, generally a very nice clean and fresh copy beautifully presented. From the Arabian Gulf in the West, to the Philippines in the southeast, the Arctic circle in the north and the Ceylon in the south. Earliest edition of this wall map, the most accurate map of Asia published at the beginning of the 19th century. It shows significant advancement compared with other maps of the period, incorporating the work of surveyors like James Rennell, to whom the map was dedicated. Rennell was surveyor-general of the East India Company's dominions in Bengal, and the information published in his "Bengal Atlas" in 1779 appears here. Arrowsmith also included remarkable topographical detail such as mountain ranges in regions as remote as Tibet. Remarkably, the region on the shore of the Arabian Gulf is already labelled as "Bani Yas" territory. Arrowsmith has marked the track of Lapérouse's voyage in the Indian Ocean and Far East.
