Hand-Colored Map of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay Area
1757, French and Indian War Period, Hand-Colored Engraved Map titled, "Carte De La Virginie, De La Baye Chesapeack et Pays Voisins," by Bellin, France, Very Fine.
The full title of this colorful 9" x 12" Map reads, "Carte De La Virginie, De La Baye Chesapeack et Pays Voisins. Pour servir a l'Histoire Generale des Voyages. Tiree des meilleurs Cartes Angloises." Bellin's highly detailed Map is of the Chesapeake Bay area. It includes parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, all of Maryland, and an as yet unnamed Delaware. From Prevost d'Exiles' Histoire Generale des Voyages. Nice hand-color is mostly in outline, several expected faint vertical folds. This Map shows towns, roads, villages, churches, meeting houses, rivers, mountains, inlets, islands and a host of other details. A nice map of the region, issued just prior to the start of the French & Indian War. This is 1 of 3 nearly identical maps of the Chesapeake region by Bellin. The others include the name "Virginie" and "Mari-land" in the title, respectively.
