Here is a nice map of the Netherlands, from a GREAT travel brochure (62
pages) titled "How to see Holland", printed in 1929. (Sorry, it is
large)
Here is a map from O'Callaghan's "Documentary History of the State of
New York", 1851.
It is pretty much of both sides of the Hudson River in New York from Manor of
Livingston, north through Lake Champlain, into Canada. What makes it
unique is that it shows boundaries and names of grants and patents along the
Hudson & Mohawk Rivers, with many of the old Dutch names appearing. It
also shows towns in the disputed lands that became the State of Vermont.
It is a bit strange in that it is oriented with North to the left.
Warning: this is a very large file (8 meg), scanned at a high
resolution to make it readable.
One of the items I have in this conglomeration is a 300 year old atlas titled 'de
Vyerighe Colom'. Seems it is an atlas of the United Netherlands and Belgium, printed in
1696. Although the book itself is in rather poor shape, each of the maps are intact
and I have scanned them all into 'gif' files which may be downloaded from this page.
The last page (p. 50) is missing from the atlas. It is similar to pages 48 &
49, showing small portraits of some of the historic leaders. (I think).
Warning: these files are large, each is about 2 meg. Sorry, but after some trial
and error I chose this resolution & size as a trade off to make them mostly readable
yet not HUGE.
They are too large to print nicely, so the best bet would be to save them on
YOUR computer then you can load them into a decent graphics program for viewing.
Click on the Page/Map to view online. Rather than waiting for
the whole picture to display, you can 'Stop' the display and right click your
mouse to bring up a menu to save the picture. Even though the entire
picture is not displayed, it will save the whole thing, at least this works with
Netscape.
I know next to nothing about this atlas and exactly what it shows, so it won't help to
ask me.
Well, hope some folks find this useful.
