Poster 1858 Everest Trigonometrical Vintage Map

A vintage redrawn fine-art print of the 1858 Great Trigonometrical Survey of Mount Everest — combining historic cartography with modern clarity and minimalist design. The Survey of Everest, 1858 — The Great Trigonometrical Determination A redrawn modern edition of Colonel Andrew Scott Waugh’s 1858 Great Trigonometrical Survey of India, this artwork unites the earliest known topographic sketch of Mount Everest with an inset of the original triangulation chart. Digitally restored in high-resolution vector linework and layered with subtle aged-paper texture, it preserves the vintage precision of 19th-century cartography while bringing it into modern visual clarity. Featuring Radhanath Sikdar’s calculation of Peak XV, Waugh’s recorded 29,002 ft height, and the sightlines that reached from India’s plains to the Himalayan crest, this map captures the discipline and wonder that defined the age of measurement. Perfect for libraries, study walls, offices, and modern homes, this archival print bridges science, geography, and timeless design — a collector’s piece for map lovers and explorers alike. Redrawn and reinterpreted by neelanjan2025. Based on the original engraving by Col. Andrew Scott Waugh, Royal Geographical Society, London 1858.
