Emanuel Bowen Biography
Emanuel Bowen (1694?-1767) was a British engraver and print seller. He was most well-known for his atlases and county maps. Although he died in poverty, he was widely acknowledged for his expertise and was appointed as mapmaker to both George II of England and Louis XV of France.
His business was carried on by his son, Thomas Bowen. He also trained many apprentices, two of whom became prominent mapmakers, Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jeffreys.
The condition is excellent so far as I can see, there will naturally be age related patina, it looks to be a hand watercolour piece

Antique Map of Africa with a Decorative Dedication to the Dauphin, 1717
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'L'Afrique, Dressée Selon les Dernieres Relat. et Suivant les Nouvelles Decouvertes (..).'
This map is a reduced derivative of De Fer's wall map of Africa (1696-98) with its characteristic thickened west coast. Unusual islands appear in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans including a mythical second island of St. Helena. Monomotapa is shown in the south and the southwest coastline is distorted and there is an incorrect placement and shape of the Cape of Good Hope. In Central Africa is a paragraph concerning the origin of the Nile in Abyssinia, however, the two sub-equatorial Ptolemaic lakes are still shown on the map. The map is graced with a decorative dedication to the Dauphin and a title cartouche featuring lime kilns. The map was first published in 1700. This scarse map originates from: 'Introduction a la geographie - avec unde description historique sur toutes...
