Two maps of India published by prominent London mapmaker William Faden. James Rennell served as the Surveyor General of India and engraved this map from an original drawing owned by the East India Company. The map by Baker was one of the most detailed of Southern India available at that time, commissioned by General Sir Archibald Campbell.
