Skilfully executed pen and ink drawing by the notable Swiss draughtsman Johann Heinrich Lips (1758-1817), showing a naval officer on a tropical beach on the Coromandel Coast, being welcomed by four half-naked local women with their five children. In the background are three native men in a small rowing boat touching the beach. The present drawing was made for an illustration in Johann Georg Jacobi's Iris. Ein Taschenbuch für 1804 to accompany a text by Franz Xaver Schnetzler titled "Le Vaillant und Mungo Park" (pp. 157-184). The illustration was engraved by Lips himself and contains, besides the caption "Die Küste von Coromandel", the subtitle "Au seiner französischen Handschrift", suggesting the drawing was made after one found in a French manuscript.Slightly browned along the edges of the paper (covered by the passepartout) and a few tiny specks. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cf. Andreas Klein, Johann Georg Jacobi (2012), 359; Nagler VIII, pp. 555-558; Thieme & Becker XXXIII, p. 279. The whole mounted on a larger paper leaf (with notes: "dessin no 522" and "Lips f." in ink), with a passepartout and in a gilt wooden frame. Pen drawing (10.3 x 6.3 cm) in grey ink with washes on paper (12.5 x 8.5 cm), signed by the artist in the lower right corner of the illustration and with the title in pencil in the lower margin.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Two maps on one sheet. Size 21 x 10 Inches. This is a fine example of Laurie and Whittle's 1794 nautical chart or maritime map of Palleacate (Pulicat) and Tengepatnam or Fort St. David on the Coromandel Coast in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Essentially two maps on one sheet, the upper map details Pulicat, a historic seashore town in Tamil Nadu, India and the Fort St. George, which is situated in the modern city of Chennai, India. The lower map details fort St. David near the town of Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, India. The location of Fort St. George on the upper map is beautifully rendered. A church, most likely St. Mary's Church, which is the oldest Anglican Church in India, is shown. Founded in 1644, Fort St. George was the first English fortress in India. Over time, settlements around the fort grew to include the neighboring villages and eventually evolved to form the city of Madras or Chennai, which is now one of the most populous metropolitan areas in India. While Fort St. Gorge and the surrounding towns were controlled by the British when this map was drawn, Pulicat, which until 1609 was the capital of Dutch Coromandel, changed allegiances between the Dutch, Portuguese and British until in 1825 when fell fully under the British hegemony. The map of Fort St. David notes 'A fort belonging to the Moors.' Fort St. David, originally built by a Hindu merchant, was captured by the Marathas in 1677. The English later acquired the fort in 1690 and renamed it to Fort St. David. It would eventually become the British headquarters for all of Southern India. The map offers rich detail including countless depth soundings, notes on the sea floor, commentary on reefs, rhumb lines, sandbars, shoals, buildings, place names and a wealth of other practical information for the mariner. As noted in the title, Laurie and Whittle derived the map from a much earlier 17th century plan by the Dutch East India Company chart maker Johannes van Keulen (1654-1715). This map was published by Laurie and Whittle from their offices at 53 Fleet Street, London, on May 12, 1794. It was issued independently as well as offered in their 1797 East-India Pilot, or Oriental Navigator.

Very good. Minor wear along original centerfolds. Original platemarks visible. Map is on two separate sheets. Can be joined upon request at an additional cost. Blank on verso. Size 40 x 21 Inches. This is a monumental and highly detailed map 1789 map of the Coromandel Coast, India by Franz Anton Schrämbl. This map, on two separate sheets, covers the southeastern coast of India from Nagapattinam (Nega-Patnam) north as far as Narsapur and inland as far as Tiruchirappalli and Hyderabad. Schrämbl derived this map from the influential French cartographer Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville's similar map of 1753, which here has been re-engraved, updated, and translated into German. It offers excellent coverage of the Coromandel Coast of India naming port cities, including Chennai (Madras), Nagappattinam (Negapatam), Puducherry (Pondicherry), Pazhaverkadu (Pulicat), etc. Several important rivers, towns, villages, roads and other topographical features are also noted throughout. Mountain ranges are rendered in profile. Coromandel Coast The Coromandel Coast, whose name is derived from the ancient Chola Dynasty that ruled the region from the 3rd Century BC to the 13th Century AD. The Portuguese settled in the region during the 16th century, followed by the British, the French, and the Dutch during the 17th and 18 centuries, leading to rivalries among the European powers, that hoped to control Indian trade. It is of note that Schrämbl included two India maps in his atlas, this and a large general map of India after James Rennell. Control of the Coromandel Coast was traded back and forth between the French and British for nearly 100 years. By includes two maps of India, one by an Englishman, and this by a a Frenchman, he presents differing perspectives on the subcontinent. Publication History and Census Schrämbl prepared this map in 1789 for inclusion in his monumental Allgemeiner grosser Atlas . Though many of the maps in this atlas are dated 1789 the atlas itself was not complete until 1800, when it was published in Vienna. Schrämbl's Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas presented his Austrian audience with the works of the best cartographers of the day: D'Anville, Kitchin, Rennell, the Berlin Academy of Sciences and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. A lavish production, the Allgemeiner grosser Atlas was expensive and proved difficult to sell, with the result that few were printed, leading to considerable scarcity relative to other European atlases of the period. OCLC shows separate map catalogued in only 6 institutional collections; the complete atlas is shown only in 3, the Staatsbibliothek Zu Berlin, the Institut Fuer Laender Bunde, and the Universiteit Leiden.
