CARTOGRAPHER: Emanuel Bowen
YEAR: 1755
Emanuel Bowen 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 Kitchen, beginning in 1749 with the county of Sussex, and reaching completion of 45 plates in 1760. During this time, the plates passed through the hands of several publishers and were issued individually and in part works without a title.
