Antique Map
A Map of
SPAIN and PORTUGAL
by John Lodge Cowley
Published London 1753 by Thomas Cox and James Hodges in;
"A New and Easy Introduction to the study of Geography by way of Question and Answer".
An original 18th century copper engraved antique map of Spain and Portugal.
A fine example of this very scarce map.
The book itself was originally written as a teaching aid for students by Johann Hubner, a German scholar.
Cowley translated the book into English from high Dutch and added a set of interesting maps to illustrate the work.
Some of the maps bear the signature of Emanuel Bowen and he may well have engraved all of them as they follow a common format, albeit varying in size.
Fine, clean condition, free of repairs or restoration, blank verso. Fold lines as issued.
Approx. 5" x 4.5" (130mm x 110mm) map area only, with margins beyond.
