This cartouche adorns the 1775 map of Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson. This map is considered the best cartographic representation of Virginia in the 18th century.

Our collections emphasize Virginia history from the 17th to the 21st centuries, although we do have some collections that support national and international research.
