Kashnor notes, " A very fine map, which not only depicts Nova Anglia, Novum Belgium, Nieuw Nederland, &c., with extreme clearness and accuracy, but also shows the banks and shoals in St. George's Channel, and gives the soundings for the use of navigators. It retains the old Dutch names, especially in the province of New York." Kashnor dates as 1720, McCorkle suggest 1724 but notes it may have been printed as early as 1716. Cartouche: Trader and native. Prime meridian: Ferro. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Milliaria. Projection: Cylindrical. Watermark: Shield, ER lettering . Printing Process: Copper engraving. References: McCorkle 724.1. Verso Text: MS notes: Nieuw England Homann 111317 2.

Kashnor notes, " Five maps on one sheet." Map title is both Latin and German, place names on maps in English. Kashnor dates as c. 1700, but according to Tooley Homann Erben did not begin to flourish until 1730. Prior to that, books from that press were ascribed to Johann Baptist Homann, who died in 1724. See 093:132M for another state of this map. Note changes in spelling of "Bermudes & Antegoa" versus "Bermudos & Antego" on 093:132M version of this map. Also, the "besandern" in alternate title is "aparten" on 093:132 version. Note Kashnor dated 093:132M as ca. 1750. Five submaps: St. Kitts, Antigua, Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS note: 182.
