Additional Details

Based closely on the Reland model, the map is best differentiated by the decorative elements at the bottom of the map. Walter dates the map to circa 1740 because there is no mention of the royal patent received by Seutter between 1740 and 1742. Walter 71; Campbell 59; Cortazzi, pl. 78.
