A Map Of Worcester Shire, an original antique map by E. Bowen / J. Owen, published in London, 1720. A copperplate engraving, coloured. Map size 11.5 x 18 cm with a mount size of 28.5 x 35 cm. Emanuel Bowen was one of the most prolific map engravers active in London in the mid-eighteenth century. Beginning his career in about 1714 he continued into the 1760s producing maps of all parts of Britain & the world. In fact, few other mapmakers of any period could lay claim to such a broad output; from maps or plans of localised British regions & counties, to maps of almost unknown regions such as Australia & the North Pole! Bowen's maps appeared in atlases, travel & history books, periodicals & as separate publications. However, despite the quantity of work, many of his maps have an important place in cartography
- most notably the large-scale county maps designed with Thomas Kitchin. Undoubtedly, one of the most popular atlases of the early eighteenth century was Britannia Depicta.. ., based on John Ogilby's famous road book of 1675, & first published in 1720. The maps include, within decorated cartouches, information regarding market days, distances & such like pertaining to the county shown.

This detailed map of Worcestershire is from Dugdale's England & Wales Delineated. The map was drawn by G. Cole & engraved by John Roper for publication first in The Beauties Of England & Wales, issued in parts, from c.1804.
