Hi Phil,
The David Rumsey Collection is a great resource for us. These are
beautiful. Thank you Phil. I can't see that the village of Tireauventi is
there, but the only thing better than these would be maps of a very large
scale. Don't know if they exist. This is impressive. Thanks so much.
Wendie

Wendie,
Have you tried David Rumsey's site? I just checked and there are 45
maps of
India, including numerous maps from around 1750-1850.
