Description
John Smith's landmark map of Virginia, here re-engraved for the 13th part of Theodore de Bry's 'Grand Voyages', poshumously published by de Bry's son-on-law and successor, Matthaus Merian.
The map is a close copy, still orientated with north to the right, with the inset of the chief Powhatan (Tsenacommacah) holding council and the figure of a Sasquesahanough warrior, both based on drawings by John White.
According to Burden, ''The last parts of de Bry's work are very rare and often lack the maps'.
