Description
A beautifully engraved map, derived from the highly influential map by Captain John Smith in 1612, showing Chesapeake Bay and the surrounding area. The decoration of this finely engraved map features a Notarum in the upper-right corner on a small panel, surrounded by animal figures, including a llama, goats, and two Indian figures.
The Potomac and Susquehanna Rivers are named, although the spelling differs. The James River is also shown, although is named Powhatan flu.
The plate was prepared by J. Meurs for the Dutch edition of Arnoldus Montanus De Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld.. and than printed for Oglilby's America.. in 1671.
The map is based on the Hondius/Blaeu version of John Smith's prototype of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, and is considered state 8 of the Smith map.
Where John Smith projected Virginia as being lush and green by his depictions of trees, the Nova Virginia Tabula gives the impression that Virginia is stark and mountainous. Hondius kept the West orientation, but altered the images on the map. Instead of Powhatan and the Susquehanna chief, the Nova Virginia Tabula shows two Indians of Brazilian descent looking at a llama, a goat, and a unicorn.
These images were used to support the claim that Virginia was located in the Indies and, therefore, economically appealing for cash crops like sugarcane and citrus fruits.
