Issued in Ramusio's Terzo Volume delle Navigationi et Viaggi, which contains an account of Verrazano's voyage of 1524. Manhattan “Angoulesme” is named after Francis I's title before he became king. “In April 1524, Giovanni da Verrazano became the first known European to glimpse Manhattan and explore its superb harbor. The best surviving early map to register this momentous episode is Gastaldi’s small, seemingly crude work, published over thirty years after the event… Most sixteenth-century mapmakers simply ignored Verrazano’s report of his explorations…” (Cohen and Augustyn). First state, printed from the first block (destroyed in a fire in November 1557), with “rounded,” trees, not weeping willows. Burden 25; Cohen and Augustyn, Manhattan in Maps, p. 18; Goss 8; Kershaw 15b.
