Carington Bowles was an English map and print seller who operated in London during the 18th century. He was active in the mid to late 1700s and was known for his production and sale of maps, prints, and atlases.

One of Bowles' notable works is a map titled "Western Hemisphere of the World, the New World or North and South America -- Eastern Hemisphere of the World, the Old World or Europe, Asia, and Africa," which was published in 1780. This map was designed to depict the two hemispheres of the world, dividing the New World (North and South America) and the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa) on separate sides of the map.

The map would have showcased the continents, countries, major cities, bodies of water, and other geographic features of both hemispheres. It would have been created using the cartographic knowledge and information available at the time, including exploratory voyages and scientific advancements in geography.

Bowles' map would have provided a visual representation of the world as known in the late 18th century. It would have been based on earlier maps and cartographic sources, with updates and revisions reflecting the contemporary understanding of the world's geography.

Maps such as the one produced by Carington Bowles served both practical and decorative purposes. They were used by navigators, explorers, and merchants for their geographical information, while also being appreciated as works of art and collectibles.

Carington Bowles' contributions to the cartographic field and his production of maps and prints during the 18th century are recognized for their historical and artistic significance, providing insights into the world as it was known during that era.
