 1854 Pharoah Map of Mon State and Kayin State in Burma or Myanmar  WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Tenasserim Province, District of Amherst. Description: This is a lovely example of the 1854 Pharoah and Company map of the District of Amherst in Burma (Myanmar). Corresponding to part of the modern day states of Mon and Kayin, the map covers the region in beautiful detail, noting important towns, rivers, mountains, caves, and beautifully rendered vegetation. The regions south of the Salween or Thanlwin river was annexed by the British following the First Anglo-Burmese War in 1826 and included the Tenasserim province which at the time consisted of modern day Mon State, Kayin State, the Taungoo District, and Tanintharyi Region. The district of Amhert in the Tenasserim Province was named after the Governor General of India at the time, William Amherst. Today the old district of Amherst form part of the Mon State and Kayin State, separate from the modern day Tanintharyi Region. This map was engraved by J. and C. Walker and issued as plate no. 42 by Pharoah and Company in their 1854 Atlas of Southern India. Size: Printed area measures 12 inches high by 9 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Minor foxing.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us through eBay. Other Services Conservation Framing: Geographicus recommends basic conservation framing services for any antique paper.
