Blaeu's magnificent map of the Mogul Empire shows Delhi and Agra centrally positioned between the Indus and Ganges rivers. Detail extends northwards to include Lahore, with part of Persia and Candahar also shown in the west and Bengal in the east. The map is populated with elephants, sailing ships in the oceans, a dedication in the lower left corner and the title cartouche in the upper left corner all adding to the decorative appearance of this map. The Blaeu printing house was one of the largest in the world and Blaeu maps were, and still are, renowned for the consummate care and attention to detail apparent in every stage of production - the maps were printed using only the best paper, with finely engraved plates and a high standard of printing.
