Early German Map of Virginia.
Rare German edition of Pierre Duval's map of the region centered on Virginia, the Chesapeake and the Carolinas, published by Johann Hoffman in his Geographiae Universalis, first issued in 1678.
The map is a close copy of the second and third states of Duval's map, which has been re-engraved by Sigismund Hipschmann. A second edition was published in 1681. The map includes an early depiction of the Chesapeake region, the mythical Lake May above Florida, Jamestown, Cape Henry, Secot, Pomeiok, an early reference to Manhattan and New Amsterdam and an inset of Bermuda.
