The iconography of Manhattan Island, 1498-1909 : compiled from original sources and illustrated by photo-intaglio reproductions of important maps, plans, views, and documents in public and private collections . tively, they reveal to us the continuity of the Englishcartography of the surroundings of Manhattan Island, from its discovery by Hud-son, in 1609, down to 1648. The English cartography was influenced by the workof the Dutch, but it preserved the original location of Manhattan, on the west shoreof the Hudson River, and continued, during the Dutch occupation, the use of thename of Hudson for the river discovered by him. The Dutch were naturally anxiousto forget this discovery, as it endangered their rights on the American coast; andthey, therefore, purposely, omitted Hudsons name from their maps. [S3] It may be that Dudley had knowledge of some Dutch engraved map, now lost, or of some Dutch manu-script map, containing the name of Staten Island. It seems hardly possible that he can have seen the original of theManatus Maps, which, although made in 1639, probably was not copied before 1660, nor made known in Italy untilabout 1669.
