Old Europe map in outline hand coloring.

Mapmaker Bowen (1714-1767) had the high distinction to be named Royal Mapmaker to both to King George II of England and Louis XV of France.
One of his earliest engraved works Britannia Depicta, published in 1720 con-tained over two hundred road maps together with a miniature county map of each of the counties of England and Wales. It was an unusual feature of the atlas that the maps were engraved on both sides of each page, and this resulted in a handier sized book.
