- Description
Map of Virginia depicting the discoveries detailed by John Smith in his exploration of the region. It shows Jamestown, Native American tribes and villages, mountains, forests, and rivers, with north oriented towards the right. Small Maltese crosses mark the limits of Smith's personal exploration, beyond these crosses Smith relied on Native American accounts. A small British coat of arms appears near the top of the map. Putti hold up the title cartouche in the upper left corner, and more putti perform the work of cartographers and surveyors along the scale at the bottom of the map. A key sits in the upper right, decorated with a scene of Native Americans herding llamas and long horned goats.
