(Virginia - Powhatan Indians) De L'Amerique Figure CXXVI

De L'Amerique Figure CXXVI, published by Alain Manesson Mallet in Paris in 1683, offers an intricate depiction of a Powhatan Indian Village and the interior of a Powhatan Lodge, the latter taking inspiration from the representation seen on Smith's map of Virginia. This map is a notable engraved plate from Mallet's eminent work, Description de l' Univers, arguably one of the 17th century's most remarkable endeavors in the realm of cartographic publications.
