Essay Description of Item	This map was made by Jan Jansson a Dutch cartographer who lived and worked in Amsterdam in the 17th century. A 1648 manuscript version accompanied a petition urging the Dutch Republic to negotiate with England the exact borders between New Netherland and New England. The petition argued for the defense of New Netherland's territorial integrity against New England's encroachment. The significance of this map lies in the fact that it illustrates a historic, momentous decision - the first exercise of an American's legal right, 143 years before ratification of that right in the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. In documenting territorial claims, the map, also details all known Native America tribes of New Netherland.
