Notes

General_note: inset: Greenland and Iceland
Added_person: Sullivan, Larry A.
Local_note: "After the death of Thomas Streeter, Trustee and Treasurer of the [New-York Historical] Society, his colleagues on the Board presented the Library with the Jodocus Hondius map of Central and North America in his memory. In 1602 Hondius published a large world map in four sections. No part of this map has been definitively identified. However, we believe that the Streeter memorial map is one of the four sections of the larger item and that the engraving is indeed the work of Hondius." --NYHS librarian Larry A. Sullivan, in The Map Collector, March 1986, no. 34, p.34.
