The map bears the title 'Himalaya' and encompasses the area from the northern Karakoram Mountains to the western Hindu Kush Mountains, extending eastward to the Tibetan Plateau and southward to the Indian subcontinent. Meticulously detailed, it portrays the major mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and settlements within the region. Additionally, the map delineates the international boundaries of India, Pakistan, China, and Nepal.

This map originated from Geograph Anstalt Kunnerly & Frey Bern, a Swiss cartographic publisher established in 1834. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, this company held a prominent position in Switzerland's map publishing landscape. Their repertoire included an array of maps like topographic, road, city, and tourist maps. Beyond maps, they also crafted atlases, globes, and other cartographic materials.

The 1931 Himalayan map serves as a precious historical artifact, providing insight into the region prior to India's partition in 1947 and showcasing the expanse of the British Empire during that era. A poignant reminder, this map underscores the strategic and economic significance of the Himalayas
