SDUK (Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge): : India XII: Index Map

Steel engraving, 39.5 x 32 cms, engraved by J. & C. Walker, original hand colour, blank verso.

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was founded in 1826 with the high-minded aim of making 'useful' information available to self-taught members of the working and lower middle classes. Some of the material was decidedly abstruse, subscribers fell away and the Society was wound up in 1848; however, the series of 209 maps published over a 14 year period from 1829 onwards were highly praised for their superior quality, accuracy and aesthetic appeal and remain an outstanding achievement.
