He was the son of John Crane Dower, a well-known engraver and mapmaker. John Dower continued his father's work and became a successful mapmaker in his own right. He worked with many prominent map publishers of the time, including Petermann, Weller, Cassell, and Bacon. He was also a member of the Royal Geographical Society. John Dower's maps are known for their accuracy and detail. He produced maps of various regions, including Europe, Africa, and Asia. He also published several atlases and school geographies. His maps are still used today by historians and geographers. Please check my other auctions for more antique, books, maps and engravings which are added every week.
