Description: 1854 Pharoah Map of Ramnad or Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu, India WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Plan of Ramnad. Description: This is a lovely 1854 Pharoah and Company map of the town of Ramnad or Ramanathapuram in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Beautifully rendered, the map notes the fort, tanks, rice fields, official buildings, ruins, and other important landmarks from the period. A reference table in the lower left quadrant lists the locations marked within the fort complex, including the Raja’s palace. Ramnad is close to important Hindu and Muslim pilgrimage centers (Rameswaram, Devipattinam and the Ervadi dargah). The Raja’s Palace is still popular tourist attraction, Although no longer in power, the Raja and his family still occupy the palace. This map was engraved by J. and C. Walker and issued as plate no. 63 by Pharoah and Company in their 1854 Atlas of Southern India. Size: Printed area measures 8.5 inches high by 10.5 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Minor foxing.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
