Additional Information Published in 1747, this rare piece of cartographical history depicts Northern Virginia at a time of formative colonization and establishment. Tobacco had become a profitable crop, and the region relied heavily on its cultivation and export to Europe. Tobacco became Virginia’s saving grace and saved the colony from near failure after several attempts to colonize the region had ended, including the infamous Jamestown expedition. Tensions between French settlers and British colonists eventually led to outright conflict and battle, and the French and Indian Wars would break out seven years after this publication. The war would be waged for nearly a decade with the heavily outnumbered French settler relying on bolstered forces through alliances with local tribes. Produced from existing surveys, Englishman Lord Thomas Fairfax compiled this information to depict geographic features and relief. The recording of counties and borders gives historians a unique glimpse into how the evolution of the region would occur and expand. Fairfax was part of the English aristocracy as well as a distant relative of George Washington. His land holdings in Virginia were vast, and during a visit to survey them, he was acquainted with a 16-year-old Washington, and the two developed a close bond until Fairfax’s death. His legacy remains in the region with both a city and county bearing his name. The idiomatic description as the ‘northern neck’ remains in use for the region today, and this is truly an authentic piece of American history, which transports the viewer back in time. Our ready-to-hang wall art are printed and framed in the USA using the highest quality materials with professional craftsmanship. This beautiful artwork is a perfect addition to your themed decor. Historic prints look great in the home, study or office. They also make an unforgettable gift.
