His prolific output and ability was recognized to such an extent that he was official engraver both to King George II of Great Britain and to King Louis XV of France. The map presented here was created and first engraved by Bowen, and it appeared in several of his publications in the 1740s, particularly A Complete System of Geography. This version of the map was engraved by Jan van Jagen of Amsterdam, and improved by Willem Albert Bachiene (1712-83), a Dutch geographer, astronomer, and preacher, who produced many maps of the Holy Land that appeared in 18th century Bibles. Relief is shown pictorially, and scale is indicated in English and Arabian miles. The title and scale are given in a decorative cartouche, and there is a small compass rose. The map shows major settlements, caravan routes, oases, and other geographic features. Much of the interior of Arabia remains somewhat fanciful but more accurate detail is beginning to emerge. However, the body of water to the west of the Arabian Peninsula labeled the "Red Sea or Arabian Gulf" is disproportionately wide and shown with many islands and pearl banks. In the area of Qatar is a town labeled "Catema," and two islands appear to signify Bahrain. Parts of northeast Africa are sketched in.
