About This Item
London: Bowen, Emanuel. unbound. Map. Uncolored Engraving. Image measures 11 1/4" x 10 3/4"<br/> <br/> This map of the Holy Land published in the 18th century depicts the region in Biblical times. Extending from the Nile Delta to the Arabian Desert, the map illustrates the journey of the Israelites from Egypt through Sinai and into the Promised Land. Mountains are depicted pictorially. Cities are labeled, as well as the encampments of the Israelites, numbered according to biblical references. The region is divided for the twelve sons of Jacob. <br> <br> Emanuel Bowen (1714-1767) was an English map engraver who served as Royal Mapmaker to George II of England and Louis XV of France. He was well-regarded for his large, detailed, accurate, and overall attractive maps. This map is a lovely look at the expansion of geographic and scientific knowledge that occurred in the colonial era.<br/> <br/>
