Bowen & Owen’s Map of Gloucestershire

This map of Gloucestershire was engraved by Emanuel Bowen for John Owen’s Britannia Depicta, a pocket road book derived from Ogilby’s innovative atlas of strip maps first published in 1675.

Bowen & Owens’s work first appeared in 1720 and proved extremely popular; there were numerous editions over the next forty years.
