Though the images in the Flaherty film are pretty coarse, the first map
can pretty surely be identified as Blaeu's 1617 carte-a-figures map of
America, though from a later state (1642-), while the second map (which
is not a detail, but essentially a full map, only the extreme edges of
the printed area being omitted) is Visscher's c.1655 map of New England
(also from a later state, c.1684 or later). Both maps are described and
pictured in Philip Burden's _The Mapping of North America_, entries #189
and #315, respectively.

Greetings from a long time lurker,
I am trying to identify this map which is featured at the very
beginning of Robert Flaherty's short, /Twenty-Four Dollar Island
(circa 1926): /http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LoY7J1Dl9Q
In particular I'm looking for info on the map that appears in entirety
and then detail following the text card "A camera impression of New
York" (not the "Novum Amsterdamum" maps that appear a few cards later).
I thought the answer might come easily to somebody on this list. Any
ideas would be most appreciated. In any case, if you haven't seen it,
the film is very interesting.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Ross
