First plate with the crack in the lower left still visible. \"For the first time, in 1570, all the elements of the modern atlas were brought to publication in Abraham Ortelius\' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The substantial undertaking assembled fifty-three of the best available maps of the world by the most renowned and up-to-date geographers. Unlike earlier compositions ... each of Ortelius\' maps was engraved specifically for his atlas according to uniform format. Through its launching, pre-eminence in map publishing was transfered from Italy to the Netherlands leading to over a hundred years of Dutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical production\" (Shirley Mapping of the World 122).

BRY, THEODOR DE. 1528-1598; AND THOMAS HARIOT.:Admiranda Narratio Fida Tamen, de Commodis et Incolarum Ritibus Virginiae. Frankfurt: Johann Wechel, 1590.
Folio (332 x 240 mm). Engraved title (first issue, see below), engraved arms on dedication leaf, double-page engraved map of Virginia in first state, engraved plate of Adam and Eve in first state with inscription \"Iodocus a winghe in Theodore de Bry fe.\" and 27 engraved plates after John White. Late 19th-century red morocco gilt by \"Bradstreet\'s for J. Comly MacCoy,\" gilt edges. Some light mostly marginal staining. Provenance: J.C. MacCoy (booklabel and binding).


FIRST EDITION, MOSTLY FIRST ISSUE (see below) OF THE FIRST VOLUME OF DE BRY\'S GREAT VOYAGES, BEING THOMAS HARIOT\'S DESCRIPTION OF VIRGINIA, and published during De Bry\'s lifetime. Thomas Hariot accompanied the 1585 expedition to Roanoke funded by Sir Walter Raleigh and acted as a translator. He had learned Carolina Algonquian from two Roanoke chiefs brought to England by Raleigh the year before. His account is a very encouraging one as the mysterious disappearance of Roanoke colony was not reported in Europe until John White, the expedition artist and mapmaker, returned in 1590.The 23 illustrations to the text, which are after John White\'s drawings, are by far the most important visual record of New World natives as first encountered by the English colonists. Also included is the highly important double-page map, the first map to identify Chesapeake Bay and \"the first printed map of this degree of detail and accuracy for any part of the present area of the United States\" (Cumming). It was dubbed by Burden \"one of the most significant cartographical milestones in colonial North American history ... the most accurate map drawn in the sixteenth century of any part of that continent. It became the prototype of the area until long after James Moxon\'s map in 1671... This is the first map to focus on Virginia (now largely North Carolina), and records the first English attempts at colonization in the New World. First issue engraved title as Church 140a, the plate not worn but without the printed \"cum gratia et privilege...\" at the bottom of the title panel. Map and most plates in first issue (plates 4, 7, 11, 12 second issue). D6 is a blank and genuine. Burden 76 (first state); Church 140; Cumming Southeast 12-13; European Americana 590/31; Sabin 8784.
