Description
The late eighteenth century mapping of Virginia was dominated by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson's A Map of the Inhabited part of Virginia containing the whole Province of Maryland..1751. Not for another forty years was any map-maker to improve their work. Consequently the Fry and Jefferson map formed an important source for subsequent map-makers, such as De Vaugondy. From the "Atlas Universel", a detailed map of Virginia and Maryland.
The "Atlas Universel" of Gilles and Didier Robert de Vaugondy was first published in 1755. The maps were detailed, precisely engraved and not given to the fanciful cartography being promoted by many of the other contemporary French theorists. This map has the engraver's name of "Groux" added to the cartouche.
Based upon Pedley, the dating of the map is as follows: The "Limites de Lord Fairfax" line appears in the first state only. The boundary of Virginia is extended to the Western edge of the map beginning with state 2. "Grave E. Haussard" is removed and the name "Groux" is added beginning with state 3. The words "du roi" and "avec privilege is removed beginning with state 4. The date is removed in state 5.
Reference: Pedley, Bel et Utile, 470 State 5.; Phillips Atlases 619; Swem 184.
