A scarce and attractive map of the American colonies stretching from Chesapeake Bay through the Carolinas. Geographically based on the Montanus map, which was in turn based on the Blaeu/Jansson model, and here amended with considerable detail from the Moxon/Ogilby map and other sources. The large pictorial cartouche features Native Americans with their village in the background.
