British copperplate-engraved map of the West Indies and the coasts of North and South America by Emanuel Bowen (published in London ca. 1744-46) entitled "A new and accurate chart of the West Indies with the adjacent coasts of North and South America drawn from the best authorities, assisted by the most approved modern maps & charts, and regulated by astronom(ica)l observations," hand colored. 18" x 15-1/2". A wonderfully annotated map with tons of place names and paragraphs about historical events and geographical descriptions, showing all the areas in and around the Caribbean, created in the time of Admiral Vernon and major British-Spanish conflicts in the area, in excellent condition with just one fold down the middle from being part of a large book (believed to be Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca : or, a Compleat Collection of Voyages and Travels, by John Harris).
