Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

470 x 590 mm., in fine early wash colour, in very good condition. In about 1780 Carington Bowles first published "Bowles's Universal Atlas". An example of this edition appears to be in the Library of Congress. It was quite possibly intended to be a smaller and more manageable version of Kitchin's "General Atlas" first published in 1773. Those maps were often multi sheet and folding making their use difficult. In the Bowles atlas the majority of the maps are single sheet. Bowles appears to have re-issued the atlas with revisions just prior to his death in 1793. He was succeeded by his son Henry Carington Bowles (1763-1852) who shortly after formed a partnership with Samuel Carver. The firm was renamed Bowles and Carver and continued trading at No. 69 St. Paul's Churchyard. Most publications by this firm are rare and "Bowles's Universal Atlas" is no exception. Undated as before the atlas is usually ascribed the date of 1798 or thereafter based on internal evidence. Refer Shirley 'Atlases in the British Library' T.Bowl 2a; Tooley's 'Dictionary of Mapmakers'.…
