English: Elaborately illustrated map of the Lahore Subah of the Mughal Empire (or Mughal India) commissioned by Jean Baptiste Joseph Gentil, ca.1770. It features figurative depictions of Afghan and Sikh cavalry warriors amidst other graphics.
"The preceding century saw the rise of the Sikhs, culminating in the empire of Ranjit Singh, set against waning Mughal power. This map from 1770 indicates the battle for Punjab between Sikhs & Afghans by way of opposing warriors ..." (Kashi House description) "Gentil lived for twenty-five years in India, spending eleven of them at the court of Shuja-ud-daula. He carried from India among other things an atlas containing twenty-one maps of the Mughal subas that he had drawn according to the Ain-e-Akbari." (quote taken from: link "This album contains maps of 21 Mughal provinces. It was prepared for Colonel Jean Baptiste Gentil, a French officer in the service of the provincial governor of Avadh in the late 18th century." (quote taken from: link "Happy to share a map of Souba (province) of Lahore, drawn around 1770 by local artists for 🇫🇷 Colonel Jean-Baptiste Gentil, who was then in Awadh. Document graciously shared by Dr Jean-Marie Lafont who participated to our last #NightOfIdeas about Mughal times."
