From the 1897 WORLD WIDE ATLAS OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY, 3rd Edition with Introduction by J. Scott Keltie. Printed by W & AK Johnston of Edinburgh & London. Possibly out of copyright but you should do due diligence for commercial / advertising use since it is possible that someone who worked on the maps lived to a ripe old age.

The Aksai Chin region is Chinese-administered but is also claimed by India as part of the Ladakh Union Territory, with the border dispute first starting to brew into conflict in the late 1950s.
