VIRGINIA]. WHITE, John. Americae pars, nunc Virginiae dicta prinum an Anglis inventa... [Frankfurt am Main, 1590 or later]. Engraved map by Theodor de Bry 302 x 415 mm (362 x 466 mm sheet). (Lower right portion in faint impression, printer's wrinkles at center fold.) Matted, framed and glazed. "ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CARTOGRAPHICAL MILESTONES IN COLONIAL NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY... THE MOST ACCURATE MAP DRAWN IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY OF ANY PART OF THAT CONTINENT" (Burden) This map was included in part I of de Bry's Great Voyages to illustrate his edition of the text of Thomas Hariot's account of Virginia, following Raleigh's voyage in 1585. John White the author of the map, accompanied Raleigh's expedition and served as governor of the ill-fated settlement at Roanoke.
