notes:
De Bry engraved the map after John White. It is the most accurate map of North America done in the sixteenth century. It shows the first printed use of the name Chesapeake (Chesepiooc Sinus) and the second use of Roanoke. This version probably corresponds to Burden's state 2 of the map. Theodor De Bry's America. Part I. English.
