Captain John Smith was one of the greatest early explorers of the Chesapeake area, a founder and early governor of the Jamestown settlement, and an accomplished surveyor. The importance of his map, like his place in history, is impossible to overstate. The most influential map of the area made in the 17th century, Smith's Virginia is remarkable for its detail of the Chesapeake Bay, which Smith himself explored by longboat. The map's detail is so singularly exact that it became the prototype for most later maps of the region until Augustine Herman's great 1673 map Virginia and Maryland. The indication of a large body of water at the upper right of the map signals a large driving force in the formation of the Virginia colony: the persistent belief that a sea route to Asia lay just beyond the mountains. In 1608 Smith spent some months exploring the Chesapeake Bay and the various rivers that fed into it. The extent of his survey is depicted on the map with crosses on the rivers. A key states, "To the crosses hath been discoverd what beyond is by relation." One year later Smith returned to England after sustaining a serious gunpowder wound to his side; he was never to see Virginia again. Nonetheless, his role was vital in ensuring the success of the Jamestown colony, and his map was instrumental in making the geography surrounding the fragile settlement known to Europeans.

Prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher Joan Blaeu portrayed hundreds of locations across the globe. From his studio just outside of Amsterdam, Blaeu published religious and philosophical texts, as well as atlases and maps of all sizes. As representative to the Dutch East India Company, Blaeu had access to thousands of maps and accounts of recent explorations, which he used as the basis for his own work. Blaeu's magnum opus, Atlas Major, contained 594 maps and more than 4,000 pages upon its initial publication in 1662. Depicting regions from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Atlas Major was produced in several languages, including Dutch (9 volumes), Spanish (10 volumes), Latin (11 volumes), and French (12 volumes). After printing, Blaeu often sent the atlas to leading local craftsmen for finishing touches. Artist Dirk Janszoon van Santen typically provided watercolor and gilding to the black and white prints, and book binder Albertus Magnus bound many of the volumes. Atlas Major, from which many of the prints in this collection derive, quickly became the comprehensive standard for atlases.

Prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher Joan Blaeu portrayed hundreds of locations across the globe. From his studio just outside of Amsterdam, Blaeu published religious and philosophical texts, as well as atlases and maps of all sizes. As representative to the Dutch East India Company, Blaeu had access to thousands of maps and accounts of recent explorations, which he used as the basis for his own work. Blaeu's magnum opus, Atlas Major, contained 594 maps and more than 4,000 pages upon its initial publication in 1662. Depicting regions from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Atlas Major was produced in several languages, including Dutch (9 volumes), Spanish (10 volumes), Latin (11 volumes), and French (12 volumes). After printing, Blaeu often sent the atlas to leading local craftsmen for finishing touches. Artist Dirk Janszoon van Santen typically provided watercolor and gilding to the black and white prints, and book binder Albertus Magnus bound many of the volumes. Atlas Major, from which many of the prints in this collection derive, quickly became the comprehensive standard for atlases.

During the age of European imperial colonization, the art of European scientific and geographic illustration often received state support, while often serving to further economic or imperial ventures. This led to vast improvements in European knowledge of the natural world, as evidenced through increasingly accurate maps as well as detailed depictions of flora and fauna. Delve into the historical connections between scientists, colonists, and artists here.
The Northeastern University Library is excited to introduce the prints and maps within the Picturing the World collection to its students, faculty, and the greater community. In addition to the presenting digitized versions of each piece located on this website, as well as the full archival-quality files available through the Digital Repository Service, Northeastern has integrated the physical prints within campus classrooms, where they have been analyzed in several courses.
A cartographic revolution propelled Dutch artists to represent the world with scientific precision. With hallmarks such as the first modern European atlas, 16th-century Antwerp became a center of trade, craftsmanship, and colonization. Trace the pathways of collaboration and innovation among cartographers of this era of Dutch history through this exhibit.
