120.04 Virginia et Florida, c1625, by
Samuel Purchas, London
 |
A very
interesting early map of Virginia based on Hondius’ folio
map of the same name. The cartography is by John White’s
Virginia and Jacques le Moyne’s Florida as
interpreted by de Bry. Features include Indian villages and
interesting notes, i.e. Apalacci Montes where there
is mentioned the presence of gold and silver. The
fictitious Lacus Dulcis is shown just below the
notations. A strapwork title cartouche and scale complete
the map. Rated Very Good, the map has text on the verso
with the page containing the map measuring approximately
(8.1" x 12.1") and the map (7.3" x 5.8" - 18.6 x 14.8
cm). $740. ($10.50 shipping / handling / ins.) |
