1607 Cornelis van Wytfliet’s Norvmbega et Virginia
CORNELIS VAN WYTFLIET,
Norvmbega et Virginia. 1607, Second state. 9 x 11 ½”.
Taken from the first atlas devoted entirely to America, this is only the second map to use ‘Virginia’ in its title, after the White-De Bry of 1590 [AL 09], on which this is partly derived. Despite major inaccuracies – such as the labeling of the Chesapeake’s latitude near present-day Maine, and the depiction of the mythical city of Norumbega – this map was the most accurate map of the east coast until de Laet (1630).
