A lovely example of Willem Blaeu’s summation of European settlement and geographic knowledge of New England and the mid-Atlantic in the first quarter of the 17 th century. This map is based largely on the seminal 1614 manuscript map by the Dutch trader Adrien Block, and was in fact the first full representation of that map in print. Block explored the coast between Cape Cod and what is now New York City, and Block Island bears his name. His map was the first to provide a reasonably accurate depiction of the area, including an insular Manhattan and Long Island. Block and Blaeu were rather less successful in depicting New England, for example including Block Island and Narragansett Bay but omitting Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and following Samuel Champlain in locating Lake Champlain too far to the south and east. Blaeu updates Block’s map to show recent European settlements, including “Nieu Pleimouth” (Plymouth), “Nieu Amsterdam,” (New York) and “Fort Orange” (Albany). These and other place names are adopted from two earlier maps—John Smith’s New England (1616) and Johannes de Laet’s Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia (1630). One of the most charming of these adoptions is “Anglis Tragabigsanda,” reflecting Smith’s original attempt to name Cape Ann after his Turkish mistress. Blaeu’s map is also the most decorative of the region that had been published to date. It is adorned throughout with images of native game, most particularly the beaver that formed a mainstay of the New Netherlands economy. According to Burden, the two vignettes of “Mohawk” villages at upper right are in fact borrowed from de Bry’s engravings depicting the native peoples of Tidewater Virginia. The map was issued unchanged in Latin, German, Dutch and French editions of Blaeu’s atlases between 1635 and 1663. Most examples can be dated, however, by examination of the text on the verso. Per Burden’s Mapping of North America, the French text, page numbering, and signature marks on the verso
