BOWEN (EMANUEL) and THOMAS KITCHEN
Footnotes
A good clean copy of 'by far the most important eighteenth-century English atlas to be published before the appearance of John Cary's new English atlas in 1787' (Hodson). The highly-detailed and large scale folio maps, engraved by Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchen at the instigation of John Hinton, were first collected together and issued by John Tinney, Thomas Bowles and Robert Sayer in 1760. The present copy is a relatively scarce edition with an additional title-page in French. The maps bear the imprints of John Bowles, Carington Bowles and Sayer (some having a gap where Tinney's name has been removed), with the map of Berkshire dated 1756. This 'splendid collection of maps' (Chubb) includes inset views or plans of major cities, including prospects of Ely, York, Leeds, Cardiff and Chichester.
