EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Map of Eastern North America: Florida to Chesapeake Bay" takes us on a visual journey through the diverse landscapes and seascapes of this region. Created by John White in the late 16th century, this print showcases his remarkable talent for cartography. The map encompasses an extensive area, stretching from Florida to Chesapeake Bay, offering a comprehensive view of the eastern coast. It highlights various significant locations such as Norumbega, New England, Bermuda, and the Bahama Islands. The intricate details include crests representing Sir Walter Raleigh and navigational elements that hint at the exploration spirit of that era. As we explore further into this artwork's intricacies, our eyes are drawn to the beautifully depicted marine fauna. From dolphins gracefully swimming through waves to flying fish soaring above ships navigating these waters - every element comes alive with vividness and precision. The inclusion of squirrel fish adds an intriguing touch to this composition. These small but vibrant creatures symbolize nature's diversity along these coastal regions. This lithograph not only serves as a historical document but also captivates viewers with its artistic brilliance. Its sizeable dimensions allow for a closer examination of each detail meticulously etched onto paper. Displayed in private collections today, this work stands as a testament to John White's skillful craftsmanship and dedication to capturing both geographical accuracy and aesthetic beauty within one piece.
