Description
Bowen's attractive, highly decorative map of the Caribbean Islands, from eastern Cuba and Jamaica to Trinidad, and northern South America down to the equator, with notes on British naval victories over the Spanish and the source of the "best Cocoa and Chocolate Nuts."
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.
