26 Thomas Bowen (c.1733–1790) – Map of the Bay of Bulls and the Siege of Cadiz – Engraved Map for Harrison’s Edition of Rapin’s History of England (c.1750)

This original 18th-century map, engraved by Thomas Bowen, illustrates the Bay of Bulls and part of the Bay of Cadiz during the Siege of Cadiz. It shows detailed topography of the Spanish coast between the towns of Rota and Fort St. Catherine, including a large assembly of naval ships, fortifications, landing sites, and troop encampments. A cartouche titled "Explanation" provides numbered references to the military positions and actions. The map was engraved for John Harrison’s edition of Paul de Rapin's History of England, a widely published and richly illustrated historical work. The inscription at the top confirms: "Engraved for Harrison's edition of Rapin."
