Los 317 | A Map of the Most Inhabited Part of Virginia
VIRGINIA – FRY, Joshua and Peter JEFFERSON. A Map of the Most Inhabited Part of Virginia. Containing the whole Province of Maryland with Part of Pennsilvania, New Jersey and North Carolina. London: Thomas Jefferys, [1775-1782].

The finest eighteenth-century map of Virginia and Maryland. A landmark early American map, based on careful surveys by Fry and Jefferson (father of the future President), accurately delineating the boundaries, roads, settlements, and Native trails, and incorporating considerable new geographical information reported by early wilderness travelers including George Washington, Christopher Gist, and John Dalrymple. Completed in 1751, it was engraved and published several years later. Eight different states are recorded by Verner, Pritchard & Taliaferro, of which this is state 6. It was issued in 1775 for inclusion in Thomas Jeffery's American Atlas, the most authoritative atlas of America at the time of the American Revolution. Cumming, The Southeast in Early Maps, no. 281; Pritchard & Taliaferro, Degrees of Latitude, no. 30; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, p.157-158; Coolie Verner, "The Fry and Jefferson Map" in Imago Mundi, 21 (1967), pp. 74-94.

Engraved map hand-colored in outline, comprising four engraved and joined sheets, large engraved cartouche bottom right, together approximately 910 x 1260mm (36 x 49.5 inches) sheet size (top edge hinged to later paper panel with grommets, upper left quadrant creased, some mild uneven toning, folds lightly rubbed and with versos reinforced, small marginal stains).
