Description

Fascinating vintage map of the state of Florida advertising Silver Springs, one of the state's oldest tourist attractions that has been drawing visitors since before the Civil War.

The map shows the roads of the State of Florida, along with an interesting series of five insets that show how to get to Silver Springs from any part of the country, showing roads in an interesting branch-like configuration. Various other advertisements for the state of Florida appear. 

The verso depicts the many attractions of Silver Springs, including its famous "glass bottom boat ride." The front cover of the map reads "Florida's Silver Springs the Favorite Family Resort."

[ St. Augustine, Florida ] Pagus Hispanorum in Florida

[ St. Augustine, Florida ] Pagus Hispanorum in Florida

Good example of Ogilby's important early view of St. Augustine. St. Augustine was founded in 1565 by Pedro Menendez, as a base of operations for protection of the Spanish trade routes to its American colonies in the West Indies. Menendez named the settlement St. Augustine, after the day of the festival of San Augustine. The first known plan of the city was sketched by Baptista Boazio, an artist who traveled with Sir Francis Drake, in 1586, at which time Drake raided St. Augustine. This view was originally drawn from Gerrit van Schagen's work and depicts a fictionalized view of the town with mountains and other fanciful embellishments. From John Ogilby's seminal atlas America: Being the Latest, and Most Accurate Description of the New World, published in London in 1671. Ogilby's work is an English translation of Arnoldus Montanus' Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld…, published in Amsterdam, although greatly expanded in some instances and with new maps and views. Minor soiling at centerfold and a bit of toning, but a still a nice example.
