Decorative antique engraved map of Persia, extending from Georgia and Armenia to the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan. The map was published by Emanuel Bowen in London in 1747.
The map includes various provinces of Persia, towns, roads, rivers, lakes, mountains, etc.
On the south side of the Persian Gulf is a curiously defined territory "Bhara to Persia".
Emanuel Bowen (1694?-1767) was a British engraver and print seller. He was most well-known for his atlases and county maps. Although he died in poverty, he was widely acknowledged for his expertise and was appointed as mapmaker to both George II of England and Louis XV of France. His business was carried on by his son, Thomas Bowen. He also trained many apprentices, two of whom became prominent mapmakers, Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jeffreys.
