"There is no doubt that Emanuel Bowen is one of England's greatest eighteenth century mapmakers. His famous world atlasas include, 'A Complete System of Georgraphy' (1744 - 1747) and 'A Complete Atlas or District View of the Known World' (1752). Bowen was also commissioned to supply the maps for Harris's 'Voyages' (1744) and for the 'Universal History of the World.' Yet Bowen's greatest achievement is surely his series of English county maps. Together with Thomas Kitchin, he produced the spectacular large county maps for the large 'English Atlas' (1755) and the present 'Royal English Atlas' (1762), of which this is a facsimile. As one can see, Bowen's detailing was remarkable, with hundreds of lathes of each county clearly delineated, as well as all the towns, forests, and roads and their distances. Such superb work as this earned for Bowen the unusual distinction of being appointed engraver of maps to both England's George II and France's Louis XV. Alas, Bowen's meticulous work had its price: he went practically blind and ended his days in poverty.".

No binding. Condition: Fair. SEPARATELY PUBLISHED FIRST STATE. 710 x 540 mm., early outline colour, with very wide margins, some margin tears, repaired and light brown tone across the bottom, otherwise in good condition. The first state, separately published, of Bowen and Kitchin's map of the county of Staffordshire. The maps from Emanuel Bowen (1693?-1767) and Thomas Kitchin's (1719-84) beautiful 'Large English Atlas' were first issued separately. The project began at the hands of the publisher John Hinton in 1748 before he ran into financial difficulties. They are superb, clear and concise engravings. In the history of English county atlases it is hard to think of one with finer quality. Wardington praised the book saying that 'the size of the plate presented the publishers, the engravers and the printers with as formidable a task as any posed by the finest productions of Louis XIV or XV, the best of the Dutch engravings fifty years earlier, or the Ordnance Survey sheets fifty years later'. Demand for folio maps of the English Counties in the early eighteenth century was mostly met by the old maps of Christopher Saxton, John Speed, and various other seventeenth century maps. Individual large-scale surveys were beginning to be published providing a ready source for more accurate information. In the case of Staffordshire it was no doubt based on the very rare large-scale map by Samuel Parsons from Newcastle-under-Lyme published in 1747. Hinton clearly saw a market for a fresh set of folio maps. In about 1748 Hinton employed the engravers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin to produce the copper plates. Hinton had already employed Bowen for the maps in the 'Universal Magazine' from 1747. In May 1749 Hinton announced the publication of the map of Sussex and stated that the balance would be published at the rate of one a month. By 1752 or 1753 he sold his interest and the twenty-eight maps produced to date, to the printseller John Tinney. By May 1756 he too felt the financial strains of the project and brought in the most successful printseller's of the time, Thomas Bowles, John Bowles and Son, and Robert Sayer. Hodson 221 provides a thorough account of the complex history of this atlas, which was finally completed and issued with a title-page in c.1762. Because of the long publication history of the atlas the maps all appear with several different imprints. That of Staffordshire is found in seven states. This example is in Hodson's state H, the first state. Provenance: Clive A. Burden Ltd. (2008).

No binding. Condition: Good. 540 x 700 mm., in early outline colour, folded and laid on contemporary linen, imprint below trimmed, in attractive marbled board slipcase, complete with the printed label of the map seller Robert Sayer, otherwise in good condition. A beautifully engraved large scaled map of the county of Hampshire from Emanuel Bowen (1693?-1767) and Thomas Kitchin's (1718-84) beautiful 'Large English Atlas' were first issued separately. The project began at the hands of the publisher John Hinton (1716-81) in 1748 before he ran into financial difficulties. They are superb, clear and concise engravings. In the history of English county atlases it is hard to think of one with finer quality.

No binding. Quarto (260 x 210 mm.), full contemporary quarter mottled calf, gilt ruled, rebacked with gilt ruled compartments, original calf gilt title label preserved. With typographic title and 44 copper engraved maps in early outline colour and yellow wash border, the general map in early wash colour, lower right corner of final map with some minor dirt, otherwise in good condition. This atlas was first published in 1767 as the 'Atlas Anglicanus' in response to Ellis' popular 'English Atlas' first published in 1765. The 'Atlas Anglicanus' like many projects at the time began life by being published in monthly numbers. Each contained three maps with, apart from the first, the part numbers being engraved on them. Until recently no example of the parts issue had been located and the only evidence we had for its issue came from a contemporary account of Gough and two located adverts. Shortly after production began, Emanuel Bowen (c.1693-1767) died; his death on 8 May 1767 was reported in the 'London Magazine'. The project was continued by his son Thomas (c.1733-90) although the issues were becoming somewhat irregular towards the end. Near completion, Thomas Kitchin (1718-84) stepped in and bought the rights to the atlas, the last part is issued with a title page indicating Kitchin as sole publisher. Kitchin was originally apprenticed to Emanuel Bowen in 1732 and would marry his master's daughter Sarah, in 1739. Quite soon the pupil's output became prolific, including several high-quality English county atlases. Bowen was successful too and despite the death of Sarah in 1761 the ties between Bowen and Kitchin would remain close. But whilst Bowen's wealth declined over the years Kitchin remarried in to a wealthy Baptist family. The maps are reductions of those published in the 'Royal English Atlas', themselves reductions of the 'Large English Atlas', both great atlases. Carington Bowles acquired the plates sometime before 1785 and immediately set about revising them. The titles are all changed, the imprints brought up to date and all now are numbered upper right to 44. The general map of the roads is omitted from this edition as is the leaf with a list of contents which is now situated on the title page. The compass roses are now more uniform in style throughout and distances have been erased being replaced by those from London to the major cities. The atlas faced stiff competition from the continued presence of the Ellis atlas and the introduction of the hugely popular 'New and Correct English Atlas' by John Cary in 1787. Bowles priced his atlas at £1 16s, whilst the Ellis was 10s 6d and even the new Cary atlas was £1 10s. This atlas is therefore considerably rarer than that of the Cary.

No binding. Condition: Fair. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Folio (370 x 240 mm.), modern quarter calf by Temple Bindery, marbled paper boards, gilt ruled, gilt ruled ribbed spine with red calf gilt title label. With engraved title page frayed and laid down, pp. 4 'Subscribers Names' and 45 copper engraved maps in early outline colour, with two further maps of new Jersey and France inserted at the end. An example of the VERY RARE FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. This atlas was first published in 1767 as the 'Atlas Anglicanus' in response to Ellis' popular 'English Atlas' first published in 1765. The 'Atlas Anglicanus' like many projects at the time began life by being published in monthly numbers. Each contained three maps, the part numbers being engraved on them. Only one example of the parts issue has been located and the only evidence we had for its issue came from a contemporary account of Gough and two located adverts. The presence of the same number on three maps caused some confusion for earlier carto-bibliographers. Notably Chubb who surmised that they represented pigeon holes in the printing office! The first part was issued on 1 January 1767 and shortly after production began Emanuel Bowen died on 8 May 1767, his death was reported in the 'London Magazine'. Only four parts had been issued. The project was continued by his son Thomas although the issues were becoming somewhat irregular towards the end. Near completion Thomas Kitchin (1718-84) stepped in and appears to buy the rights to the atlas, the last part was issued on 29 July 1768 and included a title page indicating Kitchin as sole publisher. Kitchin was originally apprenticed to Emanuel Bowen in 1732 and would marry his master's daughter, Sarah, in 1739. Quite soon, the pupil's output became prolific including several high quality English county atlases. Bowen was successful too and despite the death of Sarah in 1761, the ties between Bowen and Kitchin would remain close. But whilst Bowen's wealth declined over the years, Kitchin remarried into a wealthy Baptist family. The maps are reductions of those published in the 'Royal English Atlas', themselves reductions of the 'Large English Atlas', both great works. After acquiring the 'Atlas Anglicanus', Kitchin immediately undertook the task of adding his imprint to all the maps. Examples of the atlas usually contain some maps with his imprint, this example however appears to bear none and is therefore a true first issue. Very few examples survive in this state and include the subscribers list. In all my years I have only located four examples. I have handled two of them, the remaining are in the Bodleian Library and Cambridge University Library. Provenance: private English collection.

No binding. 230 x 325 mm., in good condition. The 'Atlas Anglicanus' was first issued in parts which is exceedingly rare and then as an atlas in 1767 republished in 1777. Emanuel Bowen (fl.1714 d.1767) was a very active engraver whose style is often noted by the extensive use of legends. Emanuel died during the issue of the parts and the work was continued by his son Thomas. However before it was completed Thomas Kitchin would take control of it. This example is in its more usual second state. Not in Beaton; Hodson 254.

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.

Controversial contention on circumnavigation Double-page engraved map. Published in the second edition of John Harris's 'Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels', first published without Bowen's maps in 1705. The map shows the known world, but assumes an uninterrupted eastern coastline of Australia. A note beneath the map states: "The Reader is desired to observe that Sir Francis Drake was the First Navigator who made the Circuit of the Globe: For tho' Magellan was First in that Design yet as he was unfortunately Killed at one of the Ladrone Islands, he cannot properly be intitled [sic] a Circumnavigator". The mapmakers Amongst Emanuel Bowen's first work were maps for George Willdey's 'Atlas of the World' (1717). There followed a period during which he engraved charts for some of the leading hydrographers of his day: Joseph Avery, Samuel Fearon and John Eyes, Nicholas Dobrée, and Murdoch Mackenzie. He also produced a prodigious number of maps for British periodicals. Significant maps that he subsequently published under his own name, include: 'A new and accurate map of South Wales delineated from an actual survey and admeasurement by Eman. Bowen', (1729), a large six-sheet map, sold by subscription, mostly to local wealthy landowners. In the early 1730s, Bowen took on two apprentices, Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jefferys, both of whom would become pre-eminent map makers in their own right. There followed some large-scale maps of Norfolk and Huntingdonshire, 'A new and accurate map of England and Wales' (1734), maps for John Harris's 'Navigantium atque itinerantium bibliotheca' (17448), as well as numerous atlases, including Bowen's 'Complete System of Geography' (17447), and 'Complete Atlas' (1752).

From Bowen and Kitchin's Large English Atlas which was published over a period of eleven years between 1749 and 1760, and forms a highly important series of large scale English county maps, some of the best produced in the eighteenth century. Crammed with information, detailed notes of historical and topographical facts fill all the available space surrounding the map. Inset is a chart of the Downs and, completing this imposing sheet, a large pictorial and allegorical cartouche depicting the maritime and agricultural importance of the county. Emanuel Bowen (1694-1767) was a Welsh engraver, who produced some of the largest and most detailed maps of the age, becoming Royal mapmaker to both George II and Louis XV.
