This is a fine quality nineteenth century reproduction of one of John Smith's important maps of America. This small map (6 x 4.75") covers the region first settled by Walter Raleigh at Roanoak Island, in present-day North Carolina. It is based on the White/De Bry map of 1590, with a few additional place names. The map is surrounded by engravings of his adventures, including his capture by King of Pamaunkee and his rescue by Pocahontas. Finely engraved on high quality paper and published in the first American edition of Smith's history published in Richmond, Virginia.
