Item description from seller

Original decorative map of Norfolk (54 x 73 cm) engraved on copper, dissected into 16 panels and backed onto linen, folding into contemporary marbled paper slipcase with engraved title-label. With contemporary outline colour. Embellished with two decorative cartouches and compass rose. Includes a wealth of information including about towns such as Cromer, Yarmouth, and Norwich. Evenly toned, generally a very good copy of this handsome decorative map. Later published in The Large English Atlas from 1760. The work was the first large scale atlas of English counties since the works of Blaeu and Jansson a century earlier and was based on the latest surveys available. The maps were a long time in preparation, the engraving work mostly shared between Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, beginning in 1749 with the county of Sussex and reaching completion of 45 plates in 1760. Emanuel Bowen (fl. 1714-1767) was among the most renowned and prolific map engravers of the 18th century. Along with Thomas Kitchin and his son, Thomas Bowen, he produced some of the finest maps and atlases of the period. His recognition was such that he was appointed Geographer to both George II of Great Britain and Louis XV of France.…
