Kaart van Noord America voor zoo verre dezelve betrekking heeft tot de Engelsche Bezittingen [Map of Norh America Insofar as It Pertains to the English Possessions]

Outline color. Label from 1996 exhibit: this Dutch map is a fine example of the Europeans penchant for cartographically claiming huge swaths of land on the North American continent. Territoru east and south of Hudson bay is claimed in the name of France and Britain. Central America is labelled New Spain. Although manu Western place-names along the eastern seaboard are identified, no Indian tribes are located, thereby discounting the exitence of America's indigenous populations and their claims to the land.
