Add to basket1st Edition. First edition, sixth and final state of the title. Engraved title and four folding engraved maps. [12], 1-96, 105-248pp. Extra-illustrated with an engraved portrait of the Duchess of Richmond and Lenox. Folio. Smith's Virginia is arguably the most important single work on the early English colonization of North Amer…ica. Captain John Smith (1580-1631) was involved in the Jamestown colony in Virginia from its beginning in 1607, and his exploits during the difficult early days of the settlement, especially his dealings with the Indians of the area, are the stuff of American legend. Besides his swashbuckling persona as a man of action, Smith was a careful observer and persistent and inquiring explorer. His activities included not only Virginia and the Chesapeake, but the exploration of the New England coast as well. Both the book and its maps are of the greatest possible importance for early American history. Smith played a key role in the founding of the new settlement of Jamestown and all of his books and pamphlets were designed to encourage trade and colonization overseas. But his "masterpiece is the Generall Historie, which was the first sizeable work written in English about the newfound continent" (PMM 124). Following a survey of voyages to America to 1605, Smith describes the physical features, natural products, and Native Americans on Chesapeake Bay. His historical account of the Virginia Colony covers the period from 1606 to 1624 and includes much knowledge acquired at first hand. The Generall Historie and its maps appear in a complex variety of issues. The text of the work was printed by two printers, to each of whom Smith gave half the text. Their miscalculation of text length created a break in pagination, as issued (there are no pp. 97-104). Although there is only one printing of the text, Smith continually updated the titlepage of the work to keep it current and to reflect the death of James I and the accession of Charles I, whose portraits appear on the title. The first issue titlepage is dated 1624, the date of the printing of the text. Subsequent titles are dated 1625, 1626, 1627, 1631, and 1632 (as here). At the same time as new titles were issued, Smith continually altered the copper plates of the four maps, adding place names or changing details. According to the bibliographer Wilberforce Eames, the foremost authority on the book, only certain issues of each map are properly found with each title issue. The work, however, is often found with the incorrect states of the maps or the title supplied at later date. All the maps and plates present here are the correct states for the 1632 second issue of the title. The first map, the map of Virginia, shows the present states of Virginia and Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay. It is one of the most important cartographical works related to North America in the 17th century. There are twelve known states of the map, and it is present here in the eleventh state. The second map, Ould Virginia, has a small cartographical panel showing the Carolina Capes where the abortive Roanoake settlement had been. It is more famous for the engraved scenes of Smith's adventures in Virginia which surround it, especially the famous depiction of Pocahontas saving Smith from execution. It appears in four states, of which this is the fourth. The third map, that of New England, has been rightly called "the foundation map of New England cartography." (Burden). Smith had first published this map in 1616, and it went through nine states in all, of which the ninth is present here. The fourth map, of Bermuda, also occupies a founding position in the detailed cartography of the islands. There are three states, of which the third is present here. Two portraits are sometimes found bound into copies of the Generall Historie, though were not included in all copies and were likely separately issued and inserted: the Duchess of Richmond and Lenox, to whom the book was dedicated, and Pocahontas. The Duches of Richmond portrait is present here, being a re-engraved edition done circa 1796. See Eames's note in the lengthy entry on Smith in Sabin. "Recounting his exploits among Virginia's Algonquians, Smith boldly created his own personal history. He reinforced the words of his story with illustrations derived from de Bry, into which he inserted himself. Since the pictures were intended less to inform his readers about Algonquian life than to make his own story dramatic and believable, Smith may have used de Bry's images because his readers would have been comfortably familiar with them. They had become symbols of America that could be manipulated independently of the reality that they purported to represent. At the same time, the 'Indians' they depicted became increasingly abstract concepts whose meaning for European readers lay not in their specific culture but in their role as foils for European adventurers" (Creating America) A foundational work.

Add to basketThe rare Hulsius edition the earliest obtainable edition of one of the legendary early maps of Colonial America: "the foundation map of New England cartography, the one that gave [New England] its name and the first devoted to the region" (Burden 187). After a period of inactivity following his Virginia escapades, Captain John S…mith was invited by four London merchants to explore the coastline north of Virginia, with instructions to return with a profitable cargo. Smith arrived off the Kennebec River with two ships in May 1614. One of his ships concentrated on catching fish and gathering other valuable commodities, while he continued down the coast to chart and explore. Smith immediately recognized the poor state of the existing cartography for the region. He noted that he had six or seven maps "of those northern parts, so unlike each to other, and most so differing from any true proportion, or resemblance of the Countrey, as they did me no more good, then so much waste paper." Returning to England in December 1615, Smith had the map published with his A Description of New England in June 1616. According to a legend on the map, much of the nomenclature was provided by Charles, Prince of Wales, the future Charles I. Several of these placenames are still in use, including Cape Anne, Charles River, and Plymouth. The decorative elements were engraved by the outstanding Dutch engraver, Simon de Passe, who worked in London from 1616 to 1621. De Passe was most famous for his portraits. Griffiths notes that de Passe's English portraits "marked an epoch not only in the British print but in the development of European portrait engraving," most importantly for his introduction of "a new type of auricular frame.It is curious that such an advanced type should first be popularized in England." The first state of the map appeared only within Smith's A Description of New England in 1616. Between 1624 and 1639, eight additional states of the map were issued within Smith's Generall Historie (states 3-8, 1624-1632), or the work Historia Mundi (state 9, 1635-1639). The early states are rarely encountered, with the final states from the Historia Mundi generally the ones available on the market. In 1617, however, German publisher Levinus Hulsius translated Smith's Description into German within the thirteenth part of his Sammlung von Sechs und Zwanzig Schiffarten. "For this map he utilized the first state of Smith's New England published the previous year in London. The most noticeable differences, however, are the lack of any imprints lower left and right and the fact that the inscriptions are in German. There was a second edition in 1628 which also contained the map" - Burden. BURDEN 190. Sheet size: 12¾ x 14 inches. Old folds. Small split along one fold just below the portrait. Tissue-backed.
