Published in 1740, the map reflects the growing importance of the Atlantic Ocean as the principal corridor of global commerce, exploration, and imperial expansion during the Age of Sail. Combining scientific cartography with elegant engraving, Bowen’s work provides a comprehensive view of the Atlantic world at a pivotal moment in European history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chart encompasses the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, extending between the coasts of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eAfrica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, and the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eAmericas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
