Description
A wonderful cartouche adjacent to the title shows a long line of gods and natives bringing forth gifts for a British monarch. Below the cartouche is a large inset view of New York City ("Neu Jorck five Neu Amsterdam"). The map itself it nicely detailed with printed lines to distinguish between the boundaries of Massachusetts, New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Many colonial towns and cities are noted and the inland areas are filled with various forms of wildlife. An example of the fifth state as noted in Tooley's The Mapping of America.
