From English counties to the West Indies, and even the world before the Flood, these maps by Emanuel Bowen (about 1693–1767), whose name is also catalogued as Emmanuel, show one of the busiest engravers of eighteenth-century Britain at work for atlases and periodicals. The county maps include Kent, Middlesex, Buckinghamshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire and Staffordshire, with Ireland and Scotland, Antigua, the West Indies and the Netherlands beyond. Canterbury diocesan mapping is among the earliest material.
