This wonderful old map of Pakistan was originally published in 1953. It was created by Government of Pakistan.
Notably, this is the first map of Pakistan as an independent state, having split from India after the fall of the British Raj in 1947.
East Pakistan, of course, would later become known as Bangladesh. The Indian border in Kashmir, you may notice, is rather indistinct.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x36in (61x91.5cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 120in (305cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40.5x51cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Ottoman Empire and Middle East by Hafız Ali Eşref in 1890.
The locations on this map include: Lahore, Multan, Karachi, Afghanistan, India, USSR, Tibet, Peshawar, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Khairpur, East Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from Pakistan or someone interested in .
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
