Item Details
Description
  • Title/Content of Map: 1747 Bowen Map of England and Wales -- A New and Very Accurate Map of South Britain or England and Wales...
  • Date Printed: 1847 c., London
  • Cartographer: E Bowen
  • Size: 15.5 X 16.5 in.
  • Condition: Very good. Nice paperstock. Slight edge toning and finger soiling. A couple of 0.5 cm or less splits. Uncolored. Issued centerfold.

    This is an attractive map of England and Wales. Great detail is given to identify rivers, lakes, the shoreline, cities, towns, and roads/paths. The counties are noted as well. The title cartouche is flanked by two female figures; Britannia holding her shield and another supporting a sailing vessel, likely signifying the British naval ambition of the time. It is from A Complete System Of Geography, and was engraved by Thomas Kitchin.

    Emanuel Bowen (1694- 1767) was an English map engraver, who worked as a geographer for George II of England and Louis XV of France. His attractive maps are recognizable by his habit of filling every corner and space of the map with jottings and footnotes, both historical and topographical.
