- Description
Fotostat reproduction of a finely hand-colored original printed in Amsterdam, Holland, by I. Danckerts, about 1660. (Phillips, V. 1, Page 244, #500. Map # 59). The illustrations in the left-hand top and bottom corners are worthwhile noting for their allegorical meaning. The seas are dotted with ships, the interior of North and South America is pictured with fighting native Indians, coffee plantation, wild animals, etc. California is an island, florida is outlined in red and shows tremendous territory. The original is an extremely fine specimen of the early map makers. The original was secured by Mr, Barend Beek, of Miami Beach, Florida, from an impoverish German Nobleman after the war, and is now in his possession. This reproduction is presented by Mr. Barend Beek to Mrs. Basil M. Boykin, President of the Miami Beach Woman's Club, November 14, 1927.
