This map was published in the ‘Appendix’ to the ‘London Magazine’ for the year 1740, the first volume to include any maps. A finely engraved map included possibly late in the year to compete with the ‘Gentleman’s Magazine’ which put out a similar map, curiously also engraved by Emanuel Bowen. This is an example of the second state with dated imprint as published in the 1755 volume of the same work. The map features a number of legends. One below the title details Bowen’s sources including great credit due to Captain Cyprian Southack’s chart published in 1731, Edward Moseley’s map of North Carolina, 1733, and James Wimble’s chart of the Carolinas, 1738. Another legend at the top compares the latitudes shown for major towns with those of Henry Popple’s map, 1733. It displays the usual courses of the Spanish flotilla and commercial vessels to Newfoundland, Boston, New York, Carolina and Virginia. The newly formed colony of Georgia is identified. For this state the descriptive key upper left is removed and replaced with inland detail of the North American continent. Before nothing was present upriver from Quebec and now it extends inland to include the Great Lakes and the Ohio River, the scene of so much tension at this very point in time. A very fine early detailed chart. Jolly Lond-98.
