Additional Details

One of the first maritime maps of New Netherland, preceded only by Theunis Jacobsz' first issue of 1650 and that of Arnold Colom in 1656. Closely following the Colom chart, Doncker attractively renders the eastern coastline from the Chesapeake Bay to Cape Cod, balancing the land with radiating rhumb lines, compass roses and sailing ships in the sea. Burden 348, first state.
