Coloured map of Virginia by John Ogilby that appeared in his publication entitled “America …” describing the geography, nature and inhabitants of the New World. It also was used in Arnoldus Montanus's work entitled “De nieuwe en onbekende Weereld”, which described the New World and was published by Jacob van Meurs in 1671. The map, which is the last of the derivatives of John Smith’s 1612 map of Virginia, is based on the Hondius/Blaeu example and retains the unexpected orientation to the west. It is decorated with three cartouches, including one surrounding a “Notarum Explicatio”, or key, that identifies habitation types and depicts native inhabitants surrounded by a llama, long-horned goats and an animal resembling a unicorn. Blank verso. The map is a finely coloured strong, dark impression in excellent condition. 29 cm x 36 cm
