The map of the coast of India is a cartographic representation of the Indian subcontinent crafted by the British cartographer Robert Sayer. Drawing from the contributions of earlier cartographers, notably the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, this map stands as one of the most meticulous and precise depictions of India's coast from the late 18th century.

Encompassing the entire Indian coastline, from the western mouth of the Indus River to the eastern mouth of the Ganges River, this map also pinpoints key coastal cities like Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta. Notably, it extends its detail to include features of the inland terrain, showcasing the mountains and rivers of the Deccan Plateau.

The map of India's coast holds significance on several fronts. First, it serves as a valuable historical record, shedding light on the geographical understanding of India during the late 18th century. Second, it represents a work of art in its own right, distinguished by its meticulous illustration and vibrant coloration, adorned with ornamental elements like a compass rose and a vignette featuring an Indian ship.

Contextually, this map emerged during a period when the British East India Company was consolidating its dominance over India. It reflects the British interest in India's coastline, critical for trade and communication. Moreover, it played a pivotal role in the advancement of British navigation and cartography in the region.
