Loose., A very good example of this collection of maps, which are most often sold individually and are becoming increasingly rare and scarce. Emanuel Bowen (1694?1767) was a Welsh map engraver who served as Royal Mapmaker to both King George II of Great Britain and Louis XV of France. Bowen was highly regarded by his contemporaries for producing some of the largest, most detailed, and most accurate maps of his era. Despite this, Bowen would die in poverty, a similar fate that would be met by his son, Thomas Bowen, who took up his father?s cartographic business following his death.List of maps (number indicated if stated):1. #16.
