unbound. First. Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Image measures 14.75" x 18 7/8". Rare and early 1630 map of the Chesapeake Bay and the Virginia Colony by Henricus Hondius. Oriented with north to the right, the map shows the Chesapeake Bay in its entirety and extends from Cape Henry to the Susquehanna River. This map was a derivation of the map by John Smith from 1612, drawn from his deceased brother Jodocus' 1618 version. Settlements are marked with a house and the parameters of Smith's explorations are marked with a cross. Denotes many place names including Jamestown and geographical and topographical elements. Features two architectural ornate cartouches and a coat of arms. A Sasquesahanough Indian is featured below the cartouche. An elaborate vignette showing the Powhatan King surrounded by his subjects in an early depiction of a Native American Longhouse is included in the top left. The map is considered by some to be one of the most important maps of America ever produced. This is the first state, with no text on verso, dating this map to 1630. This map is in good condition with verso reinforcements along the centerfold and top margin. Minor toning. Beautiful original color. Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) was the founder of a prolific map publishing business, which helped to propel the Dutch to lead innovations in cartography. When Jodocus the elder died in 1612, his wife Colette ran the business until their sons came of age to join the firm. During this time, their daughter Elisabeth married Johannes Jansson and the two of them helped Colette run the business. Jodocus & Colette's youngest son, Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) later ran the business along with his extended family. Burden 228.…

Copper-engraved map on laid paper, hand-coloured cartouches in lower left corner. Hand-colouring to entire map. Text on the verso in French, heading titled: Le Territoire de BASLE. Hand-coloured initial on verso. Signature mark on verso is IIi. Plate size is 49cm x 38cm, on a sheet measuring 55cm x 48.5cm. Old yellowed tape repair on verso at fold and edges, some splitting at fold, pin holes to margins, tears in lower margin, very good condition. Probably from the French edition of Jansson's "Nouveau Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas" [c.1640]. Numbered in pencil at upper right with the numeral "67". From WorldCat's description: "The first French editions of the Atlas Novus appeared in three volumes in 1639, a year after the inaugural Latin version. The promptness with which the translation was readied meant that these were largely identical to the Latin original in material and structure, although several revisions were made to the order of contents to better tailor Jansson's offering to the Francophone market: thus, the French part of the Atlas was given new precedence over the Dutch one, and the Spanish and Portuguese chapters were detached from the French section in order to give the latter a stronger thematic coherence than it had previously had. Despite these similarities, the publication of the French editions was quite different from the Latin. After issuing the latter together, by 1639 Jansson and Hondius had resolved to print their own copies of the French title under their own imprints, and this division of resources and duplication of editions has resulted in a distinct, more complex publishing history. Indeed, variations in the stock of plates available to the former partners resulted in two quite separate classes of Atlas, with as many as twenty-five different maps between them, Jansson's typically the more up to date. Matters are further complicated by both Jansson and Hondius' habit of regularly updating their imprints for several years from 1639 onwards, resulting in confusing arrays of dates across the volumes of a single set.".…
