Description
[SIX MAPS]
1. VISSCHER, Nicolas (1618-1679).
Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Americae descriptio.
Engraved map with original hand color.
Amsterdam, c. 1677.
20" x 24" visible, 29 1/2" x 33 1/2" framed.
Visscher's map greatly influenced the cartography of the Americas both geographically and artistically. One of the most distinctive geographic details copied by other cartographers is the large open lake in the Great Lakes region. Visscher actually copied this from Blaeu's wall map of the world [1648], but popularized it on this map. California is shown as an island, on the Briggs model, but with a broader northern coastline.
