Description	Photograph of a hand-colored map entitled A Map of Virginia and Maryland, engraved by Francis Lamb and published by John Speed in 1676. Printed text including descriptions of Virginia (possibly page number 43) and Maryland (possibly page number 44) appears on the back. Besides showing Virginia and Maryland, this map shows parts of Carolina (left) and New Jersey (spelled Jarsy) (right). As in Captain John Smith's 1812 map of Virginia, the direction of north is to the right, and Native American Indian words, e.g., "Cheseapeake" for Chesapeake (Bay), are used to identify various bodies of water and other landmarks. In the upper left-hand corner is a depiction of the British Royal Family coat of arms during the reigns of James I through James II, i.e., 1603-1688. Below the coat of arms is a cartouche giving the scale of the map in English miles. In the upper right-hand corner is the cartouche containing the title and, below it, the words "Sold by Thomas Basset in Fleetstreet and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church yard" [sic].
