Summary
DescriptionAdventures of Captain John Smith in Virginia 1624.jpg |
English: John Smith's Iconic Ould Virginia. A nice example of one of John Smith's important maps of America. The map covers the region first settled by Walter Raleigh at Roanoak Island, in present-day North Carolina, between Cape Henry and Cape Fear. The map is surrounded by engravings of his adventures, capture by King of Pamaunkee and rescue by Pocahontas.
The remarkable rare engraving appeared in The generall historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Iles : with the names of the adventurers, planters, and governours, from their first beginning, ano 1584 to this present 1625 printed by James Reeve. The engraving includes the following: 1. Map: A description of part of the adventures of Cap Smith in Virginia. 2. C: Smith bound to a tree to be shott to death 1607. 3. A Conviver. 4. Their Idoll. 5. A priest. 6. Their conviration about C. Smith 1607. 7. C Smith taketh the King of Pamunkee prisoner 1608. 8. King Powhatan comands C: Smith to be Slayn but daughter Pokahontas beggs his live his thankfullness and how he subiected of their kings read ye history. 9. C: Smith takes the King of Pasphegh prisoner Ao. 1609. 10. C: Smith bindet a Salvage to his arme, fighteth wit hthe king of Pamaaunkee and all his company, and slew 3 of them. The name "Ould Virginia" was briefly used to describe the territory south of the Chesapeake Bay covered by Sir Walter Raleigh's 1584 patent of discovery. It is possible that John Smith originated the use of the name "Old Virginia" and that this map engraved by Vaughn popularized the name. Previously William Strachey had used South Virginia in 1612 to describe the area. |
