Willem Blaeu's reissue of Jodocus Hondius Jr.'s rare map of Viriginia, called by Burden "the first and most important derivative of John Smith's map of Virginia originally published ins 1612. Through the purchase of this plate by Willem Blaeu in 1629 and its subsequent extensive publication of forty-two years, word of the English in Virginia became known throughout Europe. It is slightly larger than its parent, though more attractively engraved. Taken from the first state of the Smith, it continues the coastlines where the former had left them vague. The royal arms at the top lack the motto and a third cartouche is introduced to contain the Notarum explicatio..." Blaeu had purchased the plate, first cut in 1618, from the widow of Joducus Hondius in late 1629 or early 1630, and replaced Hondius' name in the plate with his own. This is the 1638 issue of the map, with French text on verso, and folio number 9. It could possibly have been printed as late as 1658.
