(65B1B) FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE, before the names of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania were added, and before the course of the Delaware was updated. According to Stokes, the first state of Danckerts' map depicts the same period as Visscher's map of the same title (1651-1655). Stokes describes numerous differences between the Visscher and Danckerts versions, and ultimately concludes that "the N.J. Visscher in its earlier form at least, antedates the earlier Danckers" Burden dates the map later than Stokes or Tooley; he presents three possible periods during which this map could have been produced: the early 1660s, when Danckerts joined the family business and tensions were growing between the English and the Dutch; in 1666, after the death of Danckerts' brother; or following the recapture of New Netherlands by the Dutch in 1673. Burden postulates that it was most likely produced in 1673, "as the.first state is of some rarity, and the second not being produced until c. 1684." PROVENANCE: Evelyn and Eric P.
