拍品資料及來源
The present is derived from John Smith's 1612 map of Virginia. It was the first to depict the Chesapeake Bay with accuracy and remained a standard cartographical reference for the area for most of the 17th century. Part of the map's significance derives from the use of Native Americans' information to locate their own settlements - as noted by Maltese crosses. The figure in the upper right gazing towards the Bay is the chief Powhaten.
