    Nova Virginiae tabula

    Visual Materials

    Kashnor notes, "Very rare. The cartographer follows the map of Captain John Smith, published in 1612. The next after the above map was again issued by Smith in his Virginia Discovered, 1625." Kashnor dates as 1619, but he seems to have confused this with Jodocus Hondius Jr.'s map of the same name. According to Burden this is State 1, and dates to 1630 (Burden, map 193; Van der Krogt, map 9410:1). For a later edition of the Hondius map, see RB 150037; for Keere's version of the map, see RB 150048; for Blaeu's version of the map, see RB 150054; for Montanus's version of the map, see 150077. Figure of Indian below English coat of arms; Scene of Chief of the Powhatans. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles, German. Projection: Cylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS note: 823.
