"Peninsula Indiae citra Gangem Hoc est Orae celeberrimae Malabar & Coromandel Cum adjacente Insula non minums celebratissima Ceylon" is a Latin title that translates to "Peninsula India on this side of the Ganges, that is, the very famous coasts of Malabar & Coromandel with the adjacent highly celebrated island of Ceylon"

The map was created in 1733 by the Homann Heirs, a well-known German cartographic publishing house. The depict the regions of Malabar and Coromandel on the southeastern coast of India, along with the neighboring island of Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka). It's a historical representation that provides information about the geography and boundaries of these areas as understood in the 18th century.

Homann Heirs was a prominent German cartographic publishing company that operated in the 18th century. The company was a continuation of the business established by Johann Baptist Homann, a renowned mapmaker and engraver, who founded his mapmaking business in Nuremberg, Germany, in the early 18th century.

After Johann Baptist Homann's death in 1724, his business was taken over by his son-in-law Johann Georg Ebersberger and his colleague Johann Michael Franz. The company continued to produce maps, atlases, and geographical works under the name "Homann Erben" or "Homann Heirs," which translates to "Homann's Heirs."

The maps and atlases produced by Homann Heirs were highly regarded for their accuracy and detail, and they contributed significantly to the dissemination of geographic knowledge during that time period. Their works covered a wide range of geographical areas, including Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond.
