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.
