Hand-coloured. The map is of interest as showing New York shortly after it came into British possession by treaty in 1674 with the Dutch who settled there sixty years earlier. The name was then changed from Nieuw Amsterdam to New York in honour of James, Duke of York. The British evacuation took place in 1783.
