Emanuel Bowen (1694-1767) was a Welsh map engraver and cartographer who achieved the unique distinction of becoming the Royal Mapmaker to both King George II of Great Britain and Louis XV of France. He was highly regarded for producing some of the largest, most detailed, and accurate maps of his era.
Bowen was born in Tal-y-Llychau, Carmarthenshire, Wales, and apprenticed as a merchant tailor before moving to London to work as an engraver. He collaborated with many prominent British cartographic figures, including John Owen and Herman Moll. Some of his notable works include "Britannia Depicta" (1720) and "A Complete System of Geography" (1744-47)
