Lederer, John, Talbot, William, Sir, d. 1691 · 1672 · London : Printed by J. C. for S. Heyrick · 4 pictures

John Lederer's 1672 London account of three exploring marches from Virginia westward into Carolina and beyond, printed by J. C. for S. Heyrick and translated with a general map for English readers interested in the continent's interior. The pictures are a finely engraved route map with dotted itinerary lines, hand-drawn town and mountain symbols, a compass rose with fleur-de-lis point, and a stone arcade drawing from a later reprint; a designer might take the map's dense cartouche lettering and tiny pictographic icons as a model for antique cartography.
