State 2, 1635 German edition. "This extremely rare map is the first and most important derivative of John Smith's mao if Virginia originally published in 1612. Through the purchase of this plate by Willem Jansz. Blaeu in 1629 and its subsequent extensive publication for forty-two years, word of the English in Virginia became known throughout Europe. It is slightly larger than its parent, although more attractively engraved. Taken from the first state of the Smith, it continues the coastlines where the former had left them vague."
-Burden 193
