Beskrivning
"Birman Empire & Countries south East of the Ganges"
This map shows the Birman Empire (Burma) and the neighboring regions south east of the Ganges, including parts of Siam (Thailand), Laos, Cambodia, Malaya, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It reflects colonial boundaries and major territorial adjustments following the 1826 Treaty of Yandabo, which concluded the First Anglo-Burmese War. The note at the bottom left explains the cession of key provinces like Aracan and Tenasserim to the British. The map was published by Henry Teesdale & Co. and engraved by James Dower.
James Dower was a British cartographer and engraver active during the mid-19th century, best known for his finely detailed maps published through London-based firms such as Henry Teesdale & Co. His work often focused on thematic and regional atlases, with a particular emphasis on political geography during the age of empire.
