Large Smith Map

This is a typical copy of the Smith Map produced in nearly every atlas in the 17th Century. It was popular in its day because it showed a great amount of detail and also depicted the life of the Indians in the New World. The coloring of the map was added by hand at the time of publishing. This map appeared in the Mercator Atlas, published in Amsterdam in 1638.
