Warwickshire Maps

23x34 cm

The final atlas on which Emanuel Bowen was involved; Atlas Anglicanus... first published 1767.
Finely engraved plates reduced from The Large English and The Royal atlases.
The publication of reduced versions of the Large English series was an attempt by the publishers to recoup some of the losses incurred in the production of the large maps but neither of the reduced versions were successful and copies today are rare.
Fine uncoloured example from the second isssue of 1777 with Thomas Kitchin's imprint added outside the bottom border.
Library stamp verso.
