About this piece

Virginia in a color-printed county map titled "Virginia", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1888, with an inset map of the southwestern continuation of the state. The sheet is engraved and printed in color, with each county tinted in pink, yellow, green or gray.

The state is shown from the Appalachian ridges of the west to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, with the Potomac along the northern edge against Maryland, the Eastern Shore running down toward the Atlantic at the right, and North Carolina along the southern border. West Virginia and Kentucky lie to the west. County names are lettered large, county towns and railroads are engraved throughout, and the James, Rappahannock and other rivers run down to the bay. At the upper left, the inset titled "South Western Continuation of Virginia" shows the long southwestern tip of the state, with Tennessee and Kentucky beyond, on the same scale as the main sheet.

The map shows Virginia as it stood after the separation of West Virginia in 1863, in the 1880s edition of a standard encyclopedia.
