Description

Fine image of the fortified City and Harbor of Pellacata (Pulicat), with the Dutch Fort in the foreground, constructed in 1609.

Pulicat was a strategic Dutch trading post on the east coast of India, north of Chennai, one of the few natural sea ports on the Coromandel Coast. The town served as headquarters of Dutch Coromandel between 1616 to 1690 and 1782 to 1825. Originally founded as a Portugese trading post in 1502, the population of the town was largely Portugese during the first part of the 16th Century.

A Geohydrographic Draught of the Northern Circars or Maritime Provinces on the Coasts of Golconda and Orissa

A Geohydrographic Draught of the Northern Circars is a meticulously prepared chart of the maritime provinces on the coasts of Golconda and Orissa. Published in London on May 12, 1794, by Laurie & Whittle, this chart was the culmination of the most comprehensive surveys of those parts that were available at the time. The craftsmanship of S.J. Neele, who engraved this chart, is evident in its intricate details and precision.

Tabu Moder Indiae

An excellent example of Lorenz Fries' 1535 rendition of India and Southeast Asia, this map reflects early modern cartographic depictions of the region. Emphasizing Southeast Asia, India, Sri Lanka, and the Indian Ocean, it is a condensed version of Waldseemüller's 1513 map—recognized as the first modern exploration of this territory. The map has further antecedents in the southeast sheet of Waldseemuller's 1507 and 1516 wall maps of the world, which in turn draw on the circa 1503 Caverio chart.
