Artist Biography

A member of the renowned Bowles family, which monopolised the London print market, Thomas Bowles II (c.1712-1767) was a successful engraver, print seller, and publisher like his father Thomas Bowles I and brother John Bowles. He took over his father's print business in St Paul's Churchyard, London around 1714/15 and continued it until shortly before his death. Bowles was particularly productive during the early 1750s, a period during which the popularity and production of topographical views of London were at its height.
