Bowen - 18 Maps of Europe
This historic map is from Emanuel Bowen's A Complete Atlas, or Distinct View of the Known World. The work was published by Bowen in London in 1752. Each map features Bowen's signature Rococo style cartouches and carefully drawn engravings.
Emanuel Bowen (1693[4]-1767) was a British engraver, print seller, and was well known for his atlases and county maps. He served as a mapmaker for King George II of England and King Louis XV of France. Both Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jefferys were trained by Bowen.
