Susan Gole
Susan Gole was born in England and married in India. At Bristol University she studied Latin and Greek. Her interest in maps dates from a chance visit to a museum on a rainy afternoon, and she began a serious study of the European maps of India. Her catalogue of maps printed up to 1800 was first published as part of India within the Ganges in 1983, and she reproduced many of them in A Series of Early Printed Maps of India I Facsimile, a large portfolio with most maps in their original sizes. This led her to a search for maps made by Indians themselves, before British engineers taught the use of European survey methods.
