A Map Of Kent
|
Undoubtedly, one of the most popular atlases of the early eighteenth century was that with maps engraved by Emanuel Bowen for John Owen's "Britannia Depicta". This was a pocket-sized atlas of county maps and strip road maps, based on John Ogilby's famous road book of 1675, and first published in 1720. The maps are immensely detailed, finely engraved, and include, within decorated cartouches, information regarding market days, distances and such like pertaining to the county shown.
