LAET, Johannes de (1593-1649) and Hessel GERRITSZ (1581-1632). Nova Anglia, Novum Belgium et Virginia . Leiden, ca 1630.
LAET, Johannes de (1593-1649) and Hessel GERRITSZ (1581-1632). Nova Anglia, Novum Belgium et Virginia . Leiden, ca 1630. "A map of extreme importance, being the first printed one to use the names Manbattes (Manhattan) and N. Amsterdam " (Burden). Engraved map of the East Coast of North America, image 281 x 357 mm (296 x 363 mm sheet). Inset map of Bermuda. (Tiny stain in lower left corner.) Matted and framed. Burden 229. The map was first published in De Laet, Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien, Leiden, 1630 and was used in the Latin edition of 1633 and the French edition of 1640. His work "is arguably the finest description of the Americas in the seventeenth century" (Burden). “It was the first map with generally correct view of Manhattan and its surroundings to appear in a commercially published work. It was, in fact, the first widely circulated map to correctly delineate Manhattan as an island” (Cohen and Augustyn). Hessel Gerritsz maps were among the first “to depart from the heavier style of the Mercator and Ortelius period. This more open style of engraving was one that both Blaeu and Janssonius would use in their atlases" (Burden, p.267). Burden 229; Cohen and Augustyn, Manhattan in Maps , p.26; McCorkle 630.1. Schwartz and Ehrenberg, p. 105.
