Pub Note : This work contains an updated version of Lewis Evans' important 1755 "Map of the Middle British Colonies in North America," using the original plate engraved by James Turner with revisions and adding an eastern extension to cover New England; and Pownall's "Topographical Description" which describes the areas contained in the updated map; and six important appendices of writings by explorers in the region plus parts of Evans' original essay on his 1755 edition of the map -
I. The account of Capt. Anthony Van Schaick of the ground between the entrance of lake Chaplain at Crown point, and the mouth of Otter creek --
II. Captain Anthony Van Schaik's journal, 1756 --
III. Captain Hobb's account of the way from No. 4. in New Hampshire, to the mouth of Otter creek --
IV. Extracts from the journal of Captain Harry Gordon...who was sent from Fort Pitt...to Illinois, in 1766 -- V. Extract from Mr. Lewis Evans' journal. 1743 --
VI. A journal of Christopher Gist's journey. This copy of the Pownall belonged to Thomas Streeter (Streeter 826) and includes a rare 8 page prospectus for publishing the work that was printed in November, 1775. Henry Stevens ties this work directly to Evans, saying it "may be described as a new and much enlarged edition of both Evans' Map and his Analysis of 1755." Evans is considered "America's greatest eighteenth century cartographer" by Schwartz and Ehrenberg, and Pownall was hugely accomplished in pre-Revolutionary America, serving as Governor General of Massachusetts and traveling widely in the colonies in various roles in the British colonial administration. Pownall's map is considered the best updated edition of the Evans 1755 map, of the many later copies of Evans that were issued by Jefferys, Sayer, and others. In the prospectus, Pownall criticizes Jefferys' copy of Evans saying it "might as well be a map of the face of the moon."

Evans 1755 map is now landscape and includes more westerly parts of North America. A submap extends the course of the Ohio River to the Mississippi. Evans notes Fry and Jefferson's map of Virginia and notes agreement of Longitudinal observations with Thomas Godfrey. The "Analysis" referred to is a 32 page quarto written by Evans and printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall at Philadelphia in 1755 describing the country and boundaries. This map normally accompanied that publication. A copy of the Analysis accompanies the maps in the same folder, along with a copy of Pownall's 1776 "Topographical Description of North America."

Reproduction. This appears to be the earliest plagiarism of Evans map. Kitchin made a new plate incorporating Evans' map but eliminating the dedication and replacing it with words from Evans' Analysis (see Preface). Several other statements are also lifted from that source, but in some cases abridged, to show the French as usurpers of British territory. This appears to be the only photo-reproduction in this set of maps, the rest being original copper plate engravings. Note slightly wider but also shorter than 18213. Pownall in his later discussion thought this variant was first done by Thomas Jefferys and criticized the haphazard mountains and poorer engraving. See 18215 by Jefferys from same plate.

This is a copy of the Kitchin map of 1756 with Kitchin's name altered to that of Jefferys, hence a plagairism of a plagairism of Evans map. Jefferys has added several new forts and has changed Kitchin's "F. du Quesne" to "Ft. du Quesne, Destroy'd in 1758 now called Pittsburg." Pownall in his later discussion thought this variant was first done by Thomas Jefferys. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18215.

This is an anonymous copy of the Jefferys map of 1758, completely re-engraved. The scale is slightly different and the cartouche lacks a decorative border. Stevens surmises this may have been a proof copy of a map to be issued by Thomas Bowles or John Bowles but held until peace negotiations were completed. The map was later issued ca. 1765 by John Bowles and Carington Bowles, see 18218. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18216. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia.

New France is dropped from the title but "Part of New France" remains on the map itself. The scale is slightly different but may simply be differences in paper shrinkage. Stevens suggests this map was issued as a separate sometime between 1763 and 1768, then included as part of "A General Topography of North America", published by R. Sayer & T. Jeffereys in 1768.

London. Printed for John Bowles at the Black Horse in Cornhil, & Carrington Bowles in St. Pauls Churchyard. Map 18216 is an anonymous copy printed about 1760. That plate has now been modified by the inclusion of a border around the title, the elimination of New France from the title and map face and the addition of John and Carington Bowles names just below the title. This adds credence to Stevens' thought that 18216 is a proof copy, never issued until this plate was completed. Carington Bowles apparently succeeded his uncle Thomas Bowles in 1764 or 1765.

Bowles, Thomas (fl. 1691-1721) Print publisher. Founder of the family business in St Paul's Churchyard, London. See Thomas Bowles II for a history of the business.

Bowles, Thomas (c.1695-1767) Print publisher and engraver. In about 1715 took over the business in St Paul's Churchyard, London, founded by his father, Thomas Bowles I. His nephew, Carington Bowles took over c.1763; at his death in 1793 the business passed to his son Henry Carington Bowles, known as Carington Bowles II, who traded in partnership with Samuel Carver until about 1832. See also Thomas Bowles II, his son, and John Bowles, his younger brother.

Bowles, John (1701?-1779) Print publisher. Younger brother of Thomas Bowles II. From 1723 ran a print shop at Mercers' Hall, Cheapside, London, moving in 1733 to the Black Horse, Cornhill. In 1752 or 1753 his son Carington Bowles became a partner and for the next ten years they traded as John Bowles & Son. The shop was damaged by fire in 1766 and the business moved back temporarily to Mercers' Hall, Cheapside. By 1768 its address was 13 Cornhill (possibly the same premises as the former Black Horse). John Bowles died a rich man and his stock was taken over by Robert Wilkinson.

Bowles, Carington (1724-93) Son of John Bowles to whom he was apprenticed in 1741, and with whom he was in partnership as John Bowles & Son, at the Black Horse, Cornhill, London, from 1752 or 1753. He later took over the business of his uncle, Thomas Bowles II in St Paul's Churchyard. It has been assumed that Carington moved to St Paul's Churchyard in 1767 when Thomas II died, but the date 1766 appears with Carington's name as publisher at St Paul's Churchyard on a portrait of Lord Camden (Faber Junior, Chaloner Smith, 52.II). When Carington died the business passed to his son (Henry) Carington Bowles.

Bowles and Carver (1763-1830) Partnership of (Henry) Carington Bowles II (son of Carington Bowles I) and Samuel Carver, continuing the Bowles business in St Paul's Churchyard, London, 1793-1832. In 1818, Bowles built Myddelton House in Enfield.

Bowles Family
(fl. c. 1691- 1833)

The Bowles family ( fl. c. 1714 - 1832 ) were publishers and map sellers active in London from c. 1714 to c. 1832. The firm, under Thomas Bowles ( fl. 1714 - 1763), John Bowles (1701-1779), Carrington Bowles (1724 - 1793), and as Bowles and Carver (fl. 1794 - 1832), produced a massive corpus of work that included numerous atlases, pocket maps , and wall maps. The Bowles publishing tradition was kept alive over four generations starting with Thomas Bowles who was a print engraver in the late 17th century. The first maps issued by the firm were actually produced by his son, Thomas Bowles the second, who based in self in St. Paul's Churchyard, London. Thomas's brother, John Bowles (called "Old John Bowles" or "Black Horse Bowles" by those who knew his shop), was also an active publisher and was established at no. 13 Cornhill. It is said that he was one of the first publishers of William Hogarth's works. It was here that John's son, Carrington Bowles, was introduced to the trade. Carrington took over the Cornhill bookshop and eventually merged it with his uncles shop in St. Paul's Churchyard. On Carrington's death in 1793, the business was passed to his son Henry Carrington Bowles, who partnered with Samuel Carver, renaming the firm, Bowles and Carver. Under this imprint the firm continued to publish maps and atlases until the early 1830s. Click here for a list of rare maps by the Bowles family.
