With the New Section on Coffee Plantations.
A handsome example in a contemporary binding of the first edition of the Dutch version of Oldmixon's The British Empire in America (London, 1708). The book is divided into two main parts: the first focuses on the British colonies along the East Coast of North America, with six maps presented on five fold-out sheets; the second part explores the Caribbean, detailed through three fold-out maps.
This early Dutch translation enriches the English narrative by providing detailed accounts of coffee and coffee plantations, featuring one of the earliest fold-out illustrations of the coffee plant to be printed in Europe. It delves into the history, geography, demographics, and economic aspects of North America, specifically highlighting regions such as Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, and Hudson Bay.
