In 1922, George Philip & Son Ltd., in collaboration with The London Geographical Institute, released a significant map titled "East Indian Ports." This large-scale map focused on the Indian Ocean and its surrounding regions, specifically highlighting the ports and cities of the Indian subcontinent. 

The map featured comprehensive annotations, including detailed place names, shipping routes, and various geographical landmarks. Notably, the ports were distinctly marked in red, accompanied by population statistics. The shipping routes were displayed in blue, along with the names of the ships typically traversing them. Geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and deserts were depicted in brown, providing a holistic representation of the region.

This cartographic masterpiece served as a valuable resource for individuals interested in the historical trade and shipping activities in the Indian Ocean area. With its meticulous rendering of the ports and cities of the Indian subcontinent and the interconnected shipping routes, the map offered a comprehensive overview of the region's maritime history. Moreover, its artistic excellence added to its allure, making it an aesthetically pleasing work of cartography.
