A fine example of the esteemed 1676 map of New England issued in the Basset and Chiswell edition of John Speed's Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World. Following in the Jansson-Visscher model, this map covers from the coast of Maine in the vicinity of Penobscot to the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. This, we might add, is marked departure from the model which typically also includes Virginia. The cartographer does the intentionally, having introduced another map which specifically details Virginia. Speed's map is the only English map from the primarily Dutch Jansson-Visscher Series, and while it shares many of the other qualities of the series - absence of Lake Ontario, weak illustration of the St. Lawrence, Lake Champlain offset to the east, and Cape Cod level with Manhattan - it more importantly marks a dramatic shift in the political landscape of the region from Dutch to British hegemony following the 1665 English conquest of New York City. The text throughout has been updated and Anglicized. Terms like 'Nieu Nederlandt,' 'Novi Belgii,' and 'Nieu Amsterdam' have been replaced with 'New York' and 'New Amsterdam.' Boston, which is often omitted from the Dutch series, has here been introduced. Other newly introduced British toponymy, such as New Iarsey (after the Isle of Jersey), have also been integrated. Dutch terminology throughout has furthermore been translated into English, with, for example, 'Iland' replacing 'Eyland' and 'South Sea' replacing 'Zuyder Zee.' https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/newenglandnewyork-johnspeed-1676 #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #visscher #johnspeed #newyorkmaps (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)
