Hello there Map People,
 
I have a customer who has pointed out to me on two seperate historic prints
we have, an island that doesn't (or no longer) exists. It is called  on the
1594 Nova Francia map "Fris Lad" and on the reproduction of  " A map of the
North Pole and the Parts adjoining" from the "The English Atlas" by Moses
Pitt  in 1680, "Freesland."
 
Curious, what is this mysterious island and where did it go ???
