Bombay. Plate 40., published in 1893 as part of Constable’s Hand Atlas of India, presents a richly detailed color plan of a city in motion between sea and statute. Bookended by Back Bay and Bombay Harbour, the plate captures Bombay’s distinctive littoral geometry while integrating the urban fabric—blocks, streets, parks, post offices, police stations, and named landmarks—into a lucid civic portrait. Church Gate anchors the western esplanade, balanced by the eastern Government Dockyard and a prominently labeled Clock Tower in the University quarter. As a city map it is notable for marrying topography and governance: waterways and canals are traced with the same care as avenues and maidans, giving a near-synoptic view of how commerce, administration, and everyday life cohered in the late nineteenth-century metropolis.
The waterfronts are the map’s dramatic proscenium. Along Back Bay, Marine Drive and Back Bay Road string together promenades and residential quarters, while Arthur Bunder Road draws the eye south toward Colaba’s maritime edge. Across the city’s belly, the cartography of Bombay Harbour foregrounds quays, timber basins, and the Government Dockyard—gateways that explain the city’s rise as an imperial entrepôt. Rivers and canals are not afterthoughts but arterial, showing drainage cuts and navigation channels that knit inland neighborhoods to the port. With post offices and police stations carefully sited near piers and causeways, the map reveals how communication, security, and shipping infrastructure overlapped to regulate movement of people, letters, and cargo.
Inside the island, vigorous thoroughfares articulate the social landscape. Churchgate Street and Princess Street organize the Fort and bazaar districts, while Mohammed Ali Road threads the mercantile spine northward. Grant Road and Tardeo Road splay toward Parel Street and the mill belt, and Girgaum Road curls to the seaside commons. Pedder Road and Hughes Road climb the Malabar Hill flank; Wellington Road and Worli Sea Face delineate the coast’s arc; Mazgaon Road and Ghatkopar Road reach to the dockyards and mainland corridors. Parks and maidans—signaled near Church Gate and along Victoria Gardens Road—punctuate the density with oases of air and parade ground. The inclusion of rivers and canals, alongside roads like N M Joshi Marg and L B S Road, makes the plan unusually attentive to Bombay’s hydrology and its emerging industrial grid.
Civic order is mapped with unusual precision. The array of police stations charts the colonial state’s footprint street by street, while a tidy constellation of post offices indexes the city’s circulation of information and finance. Important buildings—courts, colleges, hospitals, and the renowned Clock Tower by the University—cluster where power and pedagogy intertwine, and the Government Dockyard proclaims the naval-fiscal armature of the harbor. As an urban plan, the plate excels at layering themes: administrative boundaries, transit corridors, green spaces, and watercourses are harmonized through color and symbol. The result is not only navigational but diagnostic, exposing the logic of late-Victorian planning from Dhobi Talao Road to Parel and from Back Bay to the anchorage.
The hand behind this synthesis is J. G. (John George) Bartholomew of The Edinburgh Geographical Institute, with copyright by John Bartholomew & Co.—a cartographer celebrated for elevating clarity and color to instruments of analysis. In Constable’s Hand Atlas of India, a sixty-map suite with meticulous indexing, Bartholomew fused administrative and thematic intelligence for scholars, traders, and civil servants alike. Plate 40 stands out within that corpus for its metropolitan completeness: shipping and shorelines, mills and maidans, bazaars and boulevards, all legible at a glance yet generous in detail. As a historical depiction of Bombay during a pivotal decade, it remains a touchstone for understanding how the city’s neighborhoods, institutions, and maritime economy were braided into one coherent, modernizing system.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.

Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
