Additional Details

- Ville de Manathe ou Nouvelle-Yorc. "...the earliest printed plan of the city acquirable by the collector today" -- Augustyn & Cohen, Manhattan in Maps, pages 50-51.

- Plan de Philadelphie et Environs. "...somewhat north of the grid of city streets but extended south below the juncture of the Schuylkill with the Delaware... the identifications of Bellin's points of interest are quaint and the original hand coloring adds to the decorative quality of this small map" -- Snyder, City of Independence, pages 60-61.
