Homann's 1716 Nova Anglia documents the northeastern United States at a time when this territory's ownership was contested by England and Holland. The competing political claims are reflected in the mix of languages used in the map, including English, Dutch, Latin and French.

This map is as beautiful as it is historically fascinating. Vivid original color delineates the primary areas. An elaborate cartouche at the lower right depicts an American Indian in exotic attire and a colonist holding a fur pelt, the fur trade being a primary reason for European interest in the territory.

Our Perfect Recreation™ of this rare document captures its still vivid color and every cartographic and illustrative detail.

About Johann Baptista HOMANN

Homann founded a company in 1702 that dominated the German and international map markets for nearly a century. He produced his first atlas in 1704; his atlases continued to be published by his heirs for decades.

Homann was named as Geographer to the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire in 1715 and was later elected to membership in the Prussian Royal Academy of Science.
