FINE FRAMED CIRCA 1700 DUTCH MAP OF NEW ENGLAND SOUTH TO VIRGINIA.

18-1/4″ x 21-3/4″ engraving on larger paper. Framed in gilt gesso frame, hand tinted details. This iconic early map of the “New Netherlands” show a nice view of tiny New York City labeled as “NIEUW YORCK…NIEUW AMSTERDAM…MANHATTANS”. This famous map has been highly reproduced but this is an original. The first imprint edition of 1651 did not name New York, but only New Amsterdam. This edition with the added details still dates to about 1700. From the Jansson-Visscher series of maps. CONDITION: Not removed from frame but paper appears sound. There is a repaired crack at central fold. Colored details are touched up in areas, but engraving looks overall very good. 51971-19 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2439
