A German edition of one of the most detailed, accurate, and certainly most visually impressive, maps of New England. The map was original published by Thomas Jefferys in 1755 and is believed to have been compiled by Braddock Mead, alias John Green. The map includes two fine insets: "A Plan of the Town of Boston" and "A Plan of Boston Harbor" and a superb vignette of the Pilgrim's landing beneath the uncolored cartouche. Engraved on four separate sheets, here partially joined to form two separate sheets. Size would be 38.2 x 40" if joined.
