    These old maps always seem so adventurous for me. If this wouldn’t inspire one to explore, I don’t know what could!

  2. Interesting to see that Amritsar is not on the map.

    I wonder if it has something to do with Amritsar being invaded in 1766. I don’t know how much of it was left in 1782.
