[Calcutta: Survey of India, January, 1861].. Original large lithographed map (150.5 x 128.5 cm) annotated with a route into the Himalayas, dissected into 80 sections and backed onto linen, title to top right, inset plan to bottom left of 'Srinagar or city of Kashmir and environs', printed label of Edward Stanford 'wholesale & retail mapseller' of Charing Cross pasted at foot printed advertisements on yellow paper for 'Stanford's Maps' and 'Stanford's Atlases' visible to front and back when folded. Lithographed by 'J. & C. Walker lith.' A little foxing, some pin holes at head, ink note at head and route drawn out in red ink (see below), lower quadrant a bit more toned than the others, generally a very good example. A scarce large scale map of Jammu and Kashmir in northern India by Thomas George Montgomerie (1830 1878), executed as part of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India under the superintendence of Sir Andrew Scott Waugh (1810 1878). Montgomerie gave K2 its name (K for Karakoram), and Waugh is credited with naming Mount Everest. This particular copy was clearly used by a near contemporary French expedition to the region. It bears the inscription 'Voyage au Cashmire [Himalaya] L�gende' in red ink at the head and a route is mapped out, also in red ink, from 'Raul Pinde' to 'Lahore' (both off the map). This runs east from Muzaffarabad to Baramulla, Wular Lake, Srinagar, Anantnag, and the Warwan Valley. Here the expedition undertook a circular loop into the Himalayas some elevations are noted in red ink (e.g. '12000' at 'Sangam') before heading south to Jammu. Rarity: OCLC records only one copy in the US (University of Minnesota), one in Australia (University of Melbourne), one in Japan (National Diet Library), one in France (Bibliotheque Nationale), one in Germany (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin), and two in the UK (Bodleian, National Library of Scotland).
