Visscher's Map of New England and New Amsterdam Amsterdam, c.1684 VISSCHER, Nicholaes (1618-1679). Novi Belgii novaeque Angliae nec non partis Virginiae tabula. Amsterdam: N. Visscher, [c.1684.] Early map of northeastern North American and New England, with an important view of New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan. According to Burden, this is probably the second published view of the city, the first being that of Joost Hartgers in 1651. An example of the second state of the map (c.1656) was used in the first boundary dispute between William Penn and Lord Baltimore of Maryland. The present example is state 4 (c.1684), adding Philadelphia, nearby place names and a privilege statement. Burden, The Mapping of North America 315; Tooley, The Mapping of America, vol. II, p. 284. Hand-colored engraved map, 554 x 466mm plate on a 604 x 520mm sheet (toning and light spotting, mostly on margins; small paper repairs to short split at center fold and along margins). Matted and framed. Please note this lot is the property of a private individual.
