Cawnpore Map

Kanpur, still often remembered by its historic name Cawnpore, is one of those cities whose past seems to linger in every old plan. This 1908 city map captures that layered character beautifully, with the streets, river and surrounding environs laid out in richly detailed antique cartography. It feels both scholarly and decorative - perfect for anyone with ties to Kanpur, an interest in Indian urban history, or a love of vintage city maps that bring real depth and story to a wall.

This is an edited reproduction made from antique/public domain source imagery.
