1730 · Nuremberg
by HOMANN, Johann Baptist (1663-1724)
Nuremberg: [Homann Heirs], 1730. Copper-engraved map, with full original colour, on an untrimmed sheet. A fine example of one of the eighteenth-century's most decorative maps of New England and New York.
This very fine map, in magnificent full original colour, focuses on New England, but embraces the entire territory from Philadelphia in the south up to the St. Lawrence Valley in the north. It depicts the region as it was considered before the British government commissioned advanced surveys of the subject. The geographic portrayal of the coast of New England is quite detailed, and features extensive hydrological information off of the coast. (truncated)
