An accurate map of Cornwall
by Eman. Bowen. from The Royal English Atlas c. 1764. Original outline colouring. 16″ x 19 3/4″. Enhanced by numerous paragraphs of “..Historical Extracts, relative to its Produce Trade and Manufactures..”

The map corresponds to Hodson State a ( County Atlases of the British Isles Vol.iii p.22 by Donald Hodson ). It bears plate no.7 bottom left margin although there is a contemporary ink title ‘Cornwall’ and the number ‘5’ verso – interestingly there is no plate number 5 in Hodson’s listing.

They show nymphs, shepherds, peasants, some topographical detail such as hills, forests and larger towns and – in this example – sea monsters, amorous neptunes and naked dancers.
