Map of Virginia

Title Leupe: Caerte van Virginia. Discovered and Discribed by Captayn John Smith. Graven by William Hole.

Latin version of John Smith's map of Virginia (See VEL1399), published in the Netherlands by Henricus Hondius. In spite of stylistic differences, such as the different cartouches, a different engraving style of the landscape and the illustration of the Sasquesahanough having been reduced in size and mirrored, this Latin version of the map is largely the same as the English original.

Scale-bar 12 German miles = 76 ‘strepen’.
