"[Portfolio] A Description of the Country - Virginia's Cartographers and Their Maps 1607-1881",

This portfolio of facsimile maps focuses on the cartographic history of Virginia. Published by the Virginia State Library, it includes facsimile reproductions of 9 maps on 20 sheets, 5 of which are in color. Among the maps are Captain John Smith's Virginia, the Fry-Jefferson map of 1775, and Captain Peter S. Michie's startlingly accurate manuscript survey of Richmond. The maps are contained in a paper portfolio with an illustrated cover. This lot does not include the accompanying book of essays by E.M. Sanchez-Saavedra.
