Amsterdam: J. Danckerts, 1696. Very good, early color with minor archival verso repairs to centerfold (expert). This is a very decorative image of the Americas with the California as an island format, and a decorative cartouche of natives, serpents. It is no accident that the cartouche design and imagery on these maps strongly resemble those of the Blaeus, as Danckerts borrowed liberally from his predecessor. The Solomon Islands are shown to the west., as are the Cape Verde, Fortunate and Azores to the east. The Danckerts were a multigenerational and prominent mapmaking family in Amsterdam. This is plate 1 from an atlas, depicting the western hemisphere with elaborate detail for the times. Much of the southeastern USA is then labelled as Florida, with the Mare Virginicum and Canadium notations present. This uncommon and handsome image (map #2, vol. II of Koeman's 1st edition "Atlantes Neerlandici"), with minimal browning, measures 19x23 inches (49x58cm). .
