It maps out the Emirate of Bukhara in the north and the Desert of Khiva. It explicitly references the "Nomadic Tribes of Turkomans" roaming the steppes. Afghanistan is centred on the map, and displays the fractured geography of the Afghan kingdom. It details the treacherous mountain passes of the Hindu Kush, alongside the major strategic cities of Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat. Beloochistan (Balochistan) & Sinde (Sindh)anchor the southern third of the sheet, it routes down toward the coastline, showing the vast desert paths, tribal domains, and the mouth of the Indus River.

In den WarenkorbOriginal copper engraving (c. 44 x 60 cm, overall sheet 55 x 68.5 cm). Tissue guard to verso. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803. In 1789, the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery, an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing…paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' (the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible, mythology or the classics) in contemporary British art, a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare, which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century? The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84, along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted, reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase, either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.

Suite complète de 24 planches gravées par Pierre-Gabriel Berthault d'après 24 aquatints and soft ground etchings, title page 29 x 21.5cm; others oblong.OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:3723722.); Louis-Martin Berthault (1770?1823) : French architect and landscape-architect, a pupil of Percier. He decorated a house…on the Rue du Mont-Blanc, Paris, and designed a celebrated garden at Raincy which included a Russian House, a grotto, and an iron bridge (all 1790s and early 1800s). His garden at Les Fontaines, near Chantilly (1792-1822), had Picturesque and Neo-Classical features (e.g. Fisherman's House, Boat-House, Sepulchre, and Obelisk on an island), and is known from the drawings by C. Bourgeois and Berthault's uncle, Pierre-Gabriel Berthault, published in Suite de Vingt-Quatre Vues de Jardins Anglais (1812). Berthault transformed several French gardens into less formal arrangements, notably at Courson (from 1820). He became Chief Architect to the Empress Josephine (1763-1814) in 1805, for whom he carried out works at the garden of La Malmaison. Other parks on which he worked were those at St-Leu-Taverny, Beauregard (near Villeneuve-St-George), and Compiègne.

The main objective was to establish a route "between the Mediterranean Sea and His Majesty's possessions in the East Indies by means of a steam communication of the river Euphrates". Finding a shorter route to India was the hot topic of the time. The East India Company sought a suitable solution to cut down the travel time between England and India. Chesney was involved in initial surveys in Egypt and the Middle East in the late 1820s where he investigated the possibility of passage to India via the Red Sea. In 1829 he submitted a report advocating the construction of the Suez Canal. He also brought to attention the feasibility of steam communication with India through the Euphrates. The king William IV himself expressed a desire that the route by the Euphrates to India should be put to a practical test.In late 1834 when Chesney received funds for the expedition he assembled a capable group of naval and military officers including the explorer Henry Blosse Lynch of the Indian Navy and a geologist William Francis Ainsworth, president of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh. He also selected workmen from the Royal Artillery, Royal Sappers and Miners qualified in steam machinery, surveying and drawing. Chesney returned to England in September 1832 after surveying the lower Euphrates by raft and was convinced that the river was navigable, providing a swift route to India. He also believed a British presence in Mesopotamia would discourage Russian encroachment. Chesney had a well-publicised interview with William IV in April 1833, who became an avid supporter of the Euphrates scheme. Petitioning led to the nomination of a select committee which in June 1834 supported an exploratory expedition with the backing of £20,000. Chesney was given the temporary rank of Colonel and lead fourteen officers and thirty-nine men on the mission.On 10th February 1835 they sailed for Syria. The two steamships, 'Euphrates' and 'Tigris', had to be tugged in sections over fifty miles of difficult terrain, the Arab tribes along the route were hostile and many of the men, including Chesney, suffered from malaria. On 21st May 1836 a sudden storm hit and the 'Tigris' was wrecked with the loss of twenty lives. . Chesney managed, with the remaining boat, to explore and chart the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Karum rivers. This exploration ended in India and he returned to London in August 1837. This accomplishment won him the admiration of geographers and he was awarded the Geographical Society's gold medal. .After preparing an account of the expedition, Chesney returned to regimental duty in 1841 and by 1843 had risen in rank being appointed Commandant of Hong Kong.
