SAMUEL LEWIS (AMERICAN, C. 1754-1822) 1794 MAP OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, black & white, engraving on paper, titled: "THE STATE OF / VIRGINIA / FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES / BY SAMUEL LEWIS / 1794" in upper left corner, featuring rivers, mountains, towns, county names, courthouses, it shows large Kentucky County in the west (which was actually divided into Lincoln, Fayette, and Jefferson counties in 1780) and Northwestern Territory filling the region north of the Ohio River. Lewis notes major roads in the eastern half of the state, a lighthouse at Cape Henry, and Burwell's Ferry. Washington is labeled "Federal City". Housed under glass in a later frame. Dated 1794. 20 3/10" x 13 9/10" sight, 24 1/2" x 18 1/4" OA.

Catalogue Note: This early map is notable as being "the first map of Virginia to be engraved, printed, and published in the United States". It was drawn by Samuel Lewis, engraved by James Smither, and published by Matthew Carey in several different works. The map first appeared in 1794 in Carey's edition of Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, the first American edition of that work to include a map. In 1795, it appeared in the American edition of Guthrie's Geography as offered here, and then again in editions of Carey's American Atlas and General Atlas.
Good to very good visual condition, with light soiling more prominent along the centerfold; some centerfold separations and a small chip at the center have been archivally repaired on the verso, several small edge chips are confined to the top and bottom blank margins.
