Emanuel Bowen (died in 1767) English engraver and map seller. He made engravings for King George II of England and Louix XV of France. He was in partnership with Thomas Kitchin from the 1750s until his death. His work is notable for the descriptive notes that he placed on his maps. He used a variety of cartographic decorative techniques, including cartouches, coats of arms, and vignettes of the towns that he mapped. After his death, his son Thomas succeeded him as the head of the family business. Sadly, neither Bowen had the ability to manage their income from the business. Emanuel died in poverty, while Thomas had the even more disagreeable fate of dying in a Clerkenwell workhouse in 1790.

Guillaume de L'Isle (1675-1726) The leading French "scientific cartographer" of the eighteenth-century. At an early age, he was the pupil of Cassini, one of the men responsible for the scientific surveying of France. Therefore, the science of surveying had a profound influence on de L'Isle's work. Scientific accuracy, such as correcting longitude measurements, and cartographic precision, such as accurately locating places on the maps, were the hallmarks of his maps. De L'Isle's family was involved with the sciences, and they caught the attention of the ruling class of the time. De L'Isle was appointed Premier Geographe du Roi to King Louis XV in 1718, and two of his brothers were scientific advisors to Peter the Great of Russia. De L'Isle produced over 100 maps, publishing his Atlas Noveau in 1700. He was succeeded by his son-in-law Philippe Buache who continued to publish de L'Isle's maps after his death.

Gerardus Mercator (Gerard Kremer) (1512-1594) Sixteenth-century Dutch cartographer, geographer and mathematician considered by many to be the most famous geographer after Ptolemy. He founded a cartographic dynasty that was continued by his sons and grandsons. Other cartographers, such as Hondius and Jansson, continued using his maps in their works long after his progeny were dead. He is most famous for his eponymous map projection promulgated in 1569 on his world map. The Mercator Projection revolutionized navigation in that compass bearing could be plotted on sea charts in straight lines. This innovation helped seamen maintain their directions in an age that predated accurate methods for determining longitude at sea. Mercator is also famous among cartographers for being the first person to coin the term "atlas" to describe a collection of maps bound together in one entity. His best known work was his Atlas which was published in three parts, the final part published in 1595 after his death.
