Second state of this important map of the eastern United States. First edition was published about 1673 omitting Philadelphia. A third edition was also published in 1690 (ca).
One of the most decorative colonial maps of the United States. Geographically and stylishly the map is derived from Visscher´s map of circa 1655. It covers the region from Chesapeake Bay to Penobscot Bay and includes the placement of nearly every colonial settlement along the coastline and rivers. The map depicts forests, mountains, rivers and lakes with most of the geography based on the work of Champlain.
The most important feature of the map is the view of New York that was taken from the Visscher map. This is the second published view of New York.
