An exceptionally beautiful example of J. B. Homann's c. 1715 map of Virginia, Carolina, Maryland, and New Jersey; considered one of the most important and decorative maps of is region to appear in the 18th century. This fine decorative map covers from New York City and Long Island south along the Atlantic Cost as far as modern day Georgia, and as far west as Lake Erie. Homann drew this map in response to Virginia Lieutenant-Governor Alexander Spotswood's plan to settled the little known interior of Virginia with German immigrants. Shown here is the first mapping of Germantown Teutsche Statt on the Rappahanock River and Fort Christanna (Christ Anna Fort) on the Makharing River. Fort Christanna was built with the intention of defending the region against incursions from hostile American Indian groups such as the Tuscarora to the west. Christanna also acted as the headquarters of the Virginia Indian Company, a stock venture founded in 1714 with the intention of trading with indigenous groups in the interior. Probably the most notable of these is his inclusion of Apalache Lacus. Similarly in Carolina a number of counties are named, most of which refer to the Lords Proprietors, including Albemarle, Clarenden, and Craven. Cape Fear, Cape Lookout, and Cape Hattaras are noted and a number of anchorages, reefs, and depth sounding are noted along the entire coastline. The lower right quadrant of this map is occupied by a fabulous decorative title cartouche. Centered on an enormous scallop shell bearing the map's title and Homann's Privilege, the cartouche features a number of stylized American Indians trading with European merchants. The wealth of the region is expressed by an abundance of fish, game, and other trade products.

These shelves are perfect for organizing my classroom library. The cubes are a little smaller than I expected, so they don’t fit larger picture books well. I was able to make it work by using bins inside the cubes and slanting the bigger books, but just know it’s best for regular-sized books. Since they’re a bit shorter, I stacked two together and it gave me the height I needed. Overall, they look great, were easy to set up, and hold a lot of books in an organized way. My students can easily find what they need, and I really like the clean, simple style.

Great for the Price

I needed a cheap little bookshelf for this small play area. The shelf was relatively easy to assemble by myself, and it's sturdy enough to stand on carpeted flooring. I didn't bother installing the safety wall mount because I live in a rental and I can't screw things into the walls. The bookshelf is too small for standard storage cubes, so I purchased a couple of 9-inch cubes from the Dollar Tree and they fit just fine. I might rearrange the contents later.
