Modern green morocco. FIRST EDITION IN GERMAN OF THE FIRST PART OF THEODOR DE BRY'S "GREAT VOYAGES." The map of Virginia, engraved by De Bry from a manuscript by John White, is "ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CARTOGRAPHICAL MILESTONES IN COLONIAL NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY. White had accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh on his 1585 expedition to found the first British colony in America and created his celebrated series of drawings and this map on that voyage. Illustrating Thomas Hariot's text of the expedition, White's was the most accurate map drawn in the sixteenth century of any part of that continent. It became the prototype of the area until long after James Moxon's map in 1671" (Burden). It was the first map to delineate the Chesapeake Bay and contains the first printed use of the name "Chesapiooc Sinus." De Bry had originally intended to use Jacques Le Moyne's drawings of the French expedition to the Southeast for the first part in his series (see below), but Raleigh convinced him to devote the first book to Virginia instead, in an effort to encourage colonization. Eventually totaling fourteen books, the Great Voyages would become the foundation work on the Americas, and were largely responsible for the European conception of the New World. The White/De Bry map had an enormous influence on the mapping of both Virginia and Careolia, Cumming calling it "one of the most important type-maps in Carolina cartography."
