Catalogue Note
First state of this classic map of the province of New Jersey (also showing New York City and half of Long Island), prepared by Faden based on the manuscripts of the British military surveyor Bernard Ratzer, supplemented by the surveys of Gerard Banker, and serving as the standard description of the region for both sides in the Revolutionary War. This map was the largest representation of the state to that time, recording the resolution of the century-long boundary dispute between New York and New Jersey.
