Handsome map of central South America from the Atlantic in the east to the Pacific coast. Text on the unexplored interior make up the lack of real knowledge(eg. ‘this country abounds with silver and gold’). Emmanuel Bowen was one of the leading English mapmakers of the eighteenth-century, and was unusual in that he was cartographer to both the French and English Royal Courts.
Fine condition. Good margins.
