Atractive map of the Chesapeake Bay including only a thin strip of southern Pennsylvania, which is named but with nothing identified. Decorative title cartouche at lower right. 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; wide margins.
