About the Item
Title: A New and Correct Map of the South East part of Germany, 1744
This map by Emanuel Bowen, dating to around 1744, beautifully captures the southeastern part of Germany. The detailed hand-colored map spans from the Gulf of Venice in the south, Swabia in the west, Bohemia in the north, and extends to the territories of Poland and Hungary in the east. Bowen, a renowned English engraver and cartographer, created this map during an era when territorial disputes and shifting borders were common throughout Europe. The Queen of Hungary's hereditary dominions are prominently marked, reflecting the territorial extent of the Habsburg monarchy during the period of Maria Theresa's reign.
The map features finely executed geographical details, including cities, mountain ranges, rivers, and significant administrative regions. The engraved decorative cartouche is particularly attractive, adding an artistic touch to the piece with its floral and allegorical elements. Bowen was known for his precision and elaborate embellishments in cartography, which made his works highly sought after both as geographical records and decorative items.
This historical map is not just a representation of geography but a window into the political and cultural landscape of Europe in the mid-18th century. It provides context to the complex relationships between various European powers, such as the Habsburg Monarchy, Venice, and the neighboring territories. Bowen's maps were often featured in various atlases and were known for their accuracy and the richness of their decorative elements, making them valuable for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.

MAKER Nicolas de Fer 1646-1720
The French cartographer and engraver, Nicolas de Fer, was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.
Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father, Antoine de Fer, owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve, Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother, Genevieve, took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V...
