Fry-Jefferson Map of Virginia, 1755 |
|
|
De Vaugondy's edition of the
seminal Fry-Jefferson map. The result
is a beautiful single folio sheet example of the most sought
after
and recognizeable 18th Century map of Virginia and Maryland.
While
the title is in French, virtually the entire map is English.
The
map provides a fabulously detailed look into pre-revolutionary
war
Virginia and Maryland, extending west to the Alleghany
Mountains,
and including Delaware and a portion of New Jersey, as well as
the
region around Philadelphia. Much has been written about
this
celebrated map. A gorgeous clean example of the first edition
of
this map, in original outline color. Phillips Atlases 619. Swem
184.

appear on a map of the region, showing figures from regional
history and local trade with the English. The Atlantic is Mare
Virgini [or] Sea of Virginy. Cummings 156; Papenfuse 24. |
