Item Details
Description
  • Title/Content of Map: 1639 Janssen Map of East Coast of North America -- Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia
  • Date: 1639 c. Amsterdam
  • Cartographer: J Janssen
  • Size: 15.3 x 19.7 in.

    This is an important and quite influential early map of the eastern coast of North America. It shows from today’s North Carolina (just south of the outer banks) to Nova Scotia. Coastal features, including Cape Cod, N. Amsterdam (New York), Long Island, the outer banks and the Chesapeake Bay are shown with some accuracy. Further inland it is less so – while Lake Champlain is easily recognized, the Great Lakes much less so, and there is a fictitious lake at the headwaters of the Delaware River. This is not surprising, given limited European contact with the interior in the early 1600s. Bermuda is shown as well. There are two decorative cartouches, ships, sea monsters and compass roses. The map is by Jan Jansson and it is based on the less well-known map of Johannes de Laet. French text on verso.
