A New Map of Virginia, Maryland & Pennsylvania — John Senex, 1719

John Senex’s A New Map of Virginia, Mary-Land, and the Improved Parts of Pennsylvania & New Jersey is an elegant 1719 map of Britain’s Mid-Atlantic colonies. The Chesapeake Bay forms the visual center of the composition, surrounded by finely engraved rivers, settlements, roads, boundaries, and geographic features extending through Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Subtle hand coloring in yellow, pink, and green emphasizes selected boundaries against the warm paper ground, while pictorial hills describe the western landscape. An elaborate ornamental title cartouche fills the upper-left corner and a finely drawn scale completes the lower portion of the sheet. Rich in both geographic detail and decorative character, the map is a distinctive example of early eighteenth-century British cartography and a compelling historical view of colonial America.
