Description
Among the details on the map is an interesting representation of the interior of New England and New York - e.g. the map shows an exaggerated Lake Champlain, etc. Along the coast there are also errors in the geography - Cape Cod is shown as an island, the harbor of Boston is exceedingly large, the fictitious "Norumbeag" (on maps of the region since the very earliest maps) is placed above the large "Penebrock" Bay. In spite of this cartographic confusion, this map was considered the standard German map of this region during much of the 18th century.
Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724), his son, Christoph (1703-30), and heirs are acknowledged to be the most important German map publishing firm of the 18th century. The firm was founded in Nurnberg about 1702. Upon Johann's death, the firm was continued by his son, Christoph until 1730 when the firm passed to the heirs on the condition that they publish under the name "Homann Heirs".
