Description

Scarce map of the region around London, from the General Magazine of Arts & Sciencews for W. Owen at Temple Bar. Apparently a scarce map, which has not been offered in a dealer catalogue for the past 20+ years. A bit of misfolding and toning, else a good copy.

Emanuel Bowen Biography

Emanuel Bowen (1694?-1767) was a British engraver and print seller. He was most well-known for his atlases and county maps. Although he died in poverty, he was widely acknowledged for his expertise and was appointed as mapmaker to both George II of England and Louis XV of France. His business was carried on by his son, Thomas Bowen. He also trained many apprentices, two of whom became prominent mapmakers, Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jeffreys.
