Map of European Trading Settlements on the Ganges

Early 18th‑century Flemish‑Austrian Ostend Company trading map of the Hooghly River valley (1726), highlighting European settlements—Flemish, Danish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and English—around Bengal. The Ostend Company briefly flourished under Austrian imperial charter, established a fortified factory at Bankibazar, and was dissolved in 1731 as part of the Treaty of Vienna.
