Zeloan — The Dutch Cartographer's Ceylon

In the year 1702, the renowned English geographer Samuel Thornton published a rare and exquisite map of the island then known as Zeloan — the Portuguese and Dutch rendering of the name we now know as Ceylon, or Sri Lanka.

🗺️ Hand-coloured engraved map with two compass roses, marking principal towns with fortress symbols flying flags
⛰️ Mountainous regions of Adams Peek and Fryers Hood marked with symbolic hills — landmarks still sacred today
📐 Scales marked in both English & French languages — reflecting the island's position at the crossroads of European trade
📜 Printed in London during the golden age of cartography — a period when maps were works of art as much as instruments of navigation
