MANATUS MAPS, CASTELLO PLAN, ETC.                     179

Hudson River, called today the East river, not far from where the East River Bridge
now stands, the name Helle gadt can be read. As for Long Island, on it there
are scattered, as on Manhattan, farms and plantations, along side of which can be
read reference numbers, which give us, in a table pasted in the right-hand corner of the
map, the names of forty-five emigrants around 1640.

In the notes on The Lowery Collection, published by P. Lee Phillips, Washington,
1912, under Nos. 120 and 121, the so-called "Vingboons maps" from the Harrisse Col¬
lection are described, in accordance with the manuscript titles which Harrisse added
to them, and from the catalogue of the exhibition held in the Bibliotheque Nationale,
in Paris, in 1892, where this map is briefly referred to under No. 277; to which
description Mr. Phillips has added some remarks on Vingboons.

It is not clear what Lowery means by his remark "There is a collection of this
map-maker in the King's private library, Madrid, I believe." This note, apparently
written from memory, may perhaps refer to Philip Vingboons's book on architecture,
and not to maps by Joan Vingboons. A very thorough search, made in connection
with the present work in the King's Library, did not bring to light anything of this
kind. As Lowery states that he did not see the Harrisse maps, he could not, by com¬
parison, have recognised as Vingboons maps those which did not bear his name; and
we know that only one map has that name, and that in 1913 this map was still in the
Harrisse Collection.

In the printed catalogue of the maps belonging to the Bibliotheque Nationale
(nouveau fonds), four maps mentioned above are ascribed to Vingboons. These maps
all come from the Posthumus Collection. Henry Vignaud, also—in his recent biog¬
raphy of Harrisse—associates Vingboons's name with the map of Manhattan Island.[']
