Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823) and his nephew Samuel Arrowsmith (1805-1839) were British cartographers who made significant contributions to the field of geography and mapmaking during the 19th century. Although they did not specifically focus on India in 1825, their work as cartographers had a broader impact on mapping the world, including India.

Aaron Arrowsmith, born in Winston, County Durham, England, was known for his expertise in producing accurate and detailed maps. He established himself as a prominent mapmaker in London and was appointed as the Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales in 1810. He became renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in his maps, particularly in regards to geography, topography, and cartographic accuracy.

Samuel Arrowsmith, the nephew of Aaron Arrowsmith, was also involved in the family cartography business. Samuel joined his uncle's company and contributed to the creation of several important maps. He continued the legacy of his uncle after Aaron's death in 1823.

Their maps were highly regarded and widely used by explorers, government officials, and academics during the 19th century.

It's worth noting that cartography during that time was a labor-intensive process that relied on surveys, reports from explorers, and other available geographical data. Mapping technology was not as advanced as it is today, so the accuracy and level of detail in maps were limited by the available information at the time.
