Article description
Original copper engraving, handcolored in wash and outline, when published. A famous and decorative map of New England, showing the Eastcoast from South of the Chesapeake towards the St. Lawrence river in the North. The map was published in 1651 by J. Jansson for the first time. We also find examples of this map in Janssons' Seatatlas and the Atlas Constractus. This Dutch map is a detailed and informative map of the Dutch province of New Netherland and the surrounding region. 'It shows English settlements on the west end of Long Island (Greenwyck, Gravesand), along the shore of Long Island Sound (Stamford, Strotford, Nieuhaven and Milfort ... ' Tooley p. 283. The map was ornated with a decorative floral vignettes around the title cartouche and a small decorative dedication to Gualthero de Raet. As well Indian life, probably taken from the de Bry' s voyages, was used to ornate this map. The map here is present in its third state published by Schenk and Valk.
