notes:
|
Beverley's text was originally published in 1705. Beverley, a wealthy Virginia planter, wanted to correct the negative impression given of the colony by a work written in London by John Oldmixon. Beverley's book does not rely on study of documents or other sources, but depends upon his own observations. All the illustrations in this book have been taken from De Bry's America, Pt. 1. They have been adapted to a smaller format, and some images combine two or more of the originals into one. This plate corresponds to plates III, A Weroan or great Lorde of Virginia, and XXIII, The Marckes of sundrye of the Cheif [sic] mene of Virginia, in De Bry's America, Pt. 1. Another edition of this work appeared in Amsterdam in 1712 published by Claude Jordan using the same setting of type and exactly the same plates. A French edition of 1707 published by Pierre Ribou is considered pirated; it uses the same images in the same order, but with new plates that reverse the images.
