Fine Cartographic and Printed Americana

Engraved map with hand-coloring in outline and wash, 499 x 581 mm image (sheet 548 x 628 mm). Figural cartouche paying tribute to an English monarch (likely George II), animals, and a Native American fort. (Short closed tear right margin affecting border, 1-in. tear to lower fold just crossing cartouche, a few short marginal tears.) FIRST EDITION, second state with "Sac. Caes. Maj Geographi August. Vind" at the end of the imprint. Seutter's map replaces the Restitutio cartouche (found in maps in the Jansson-Visscher series, see lots 32, 33, and 57) with a new one depicting gods and natives. The view is entitled "Neu Jorck sive Neu Amsterdam," and the key is in Latin, not Dutch. Seutter's is the first map in the series to use printed lines to delineate the boundaries of Massachusetts, New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. See Phillips 583; Tooley America, p.291 (second state).
