    The Hispaniola and Puerto Rico bottom half of Bowen's beautifully engraved Cuba/ Hispaniola and Puerto Rico double map from his A Complete System of Geography. Expertly remargined at the top, the map features detailed topography and many place names (especially on Hispaniola) and is graced by a charming rococo cartouche.

    Emanuel Bowen (1694- 1767) was an English map engraver, who worked as a geographer for George II of England and Louis XV of France. His attractive maps are recognizable by his habit of filling every corner and space of the map with jottings and footnotes, both historical and topographical.
