Abstract
1 map, hand colored, 29 x 36 cm., Scale ca. 1:1,400,000.
Description
Description from Mapping Maryland: "This map is the eighth derivation of John Smith's Virginia. It is a careful copy of the 1633 Hondius map on the same subject. Ogilby included this work in his "America".
Description from "Maryland from the Willard Hackerman Map Collection", George Peabody Library Exhibit Oct. 9, 2018 - March 16, 2019: "John Ogilby, who once styled himself a "dancing master," left our Powhatan's council and the Susquahanna Indian in his late derivation of John Smith's map. By 1671 the Smith map had become outdated, but Ogilby compensated his design with figures of putti at work, trading and taking measurements. The cartouche showing an Indian with headdress and a llama is more commonly found on maps of South American regions."
