In 1658 Nicolas Berey (c.1606-65) published this unusual map as part of a set of the four continents. “They are identified by the Europe and Asia, which bear the imprint of Berey and the date 1658. This map is most easily recognised by the four distinctive small panels of text. On the sides he lists the principal towns, seas, islands and rivers of America. Curiously although he lists Sante Fé, it is not on the map. The map is one of a series derived from the Petrus Bertius of 1624; this in turn was taken from the Jodocus Hondius of 1618. As with most of the separately issued maps of the period it is rare. Within two years both Berey and his son of the same name died. The map business was transferred into the hands of Berey Snr.’s son-in-law, Alexis-Hubert Jaillot. It is presumably he who issued the second state dated 1671. Provenance: Burden collection.
