With Lok we may consider that the western sea vanishes, unless there be thought a curious relic of it in the map which John White, of the Roanoke Colony, made in 1585 of the coast from the Chesapeake to Florida, which is preserved among the De Bry drawings in the British Museum. The history of these drawings has been already told.[158] There is a copy of this map in the Kohl Collection; but the annexed sketch is taken from a fac-simile engraving given by Dr. Edward Eggleston in _The Century Magazine_, November, 1882. It will be observed that at Port Royal there seems to be a passage to western water of uncertain extent,[159] which was interpreted later as an inland lake. [Illustration: LOK’S MAP, 1582,—REDUCED.] [Illustration: JOHN WHITE, 1585.] Other maps of this period have no trace of such western sea, like the protuberant “Terra del laboradore” of Bordone in 1521 and 1528;[160] the “Terra Francesca” of the Premontré globe, now in the National Library at Paris;[161] the northeasterly trend of the map of the monk Franciscus;[162] the “Nova Terra laboratorum dicta” of Robert Thorne’s map (1527);[163] Piero Coppo’s _Portolano_ of 1528, in which America appears as a group of islands; and in the British Museum among the Sloane Manuscripts a treatise, _De principiis astronomie_, which has a map in which the eastern coast of America is made to consist of two huge peninsulas, one of them being marked “Terra Franciscana nuper lustrata,”[164] and the other, “Baccalear regio,” ending towards the east with a cape, “Rasu.”[165] Kunstmann in his _Atlas_ (pl. vi.) gives a map which he places between 1532 and 1540; it is of unknown authorship. Wieser, in his _Magalhâes-Strasse_ (p. 77), points to a globe of Schöner, the author of the _Opusculum geographicum_, in which he claimed that “Bachalaos—called from a new kind of fish there—had been discovered to be continuous with Upper India.” [Illustration: NORTH AMERICA, 1532-1540 (_after Kunstmann_).] There is a chart of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence dated 1534, and of which Kohl gives a sketch in his _Discovery of Maine_ (pl. xviiiª). It is signed by Gaspar Viegas, of whom nothing is known. A map, in what Harrisse[166] calls the Wolfenbüttel Manuscript, has the legend upon Labrador: “This land was discovered by the English from Bristol, and named Labrador because the one who saw it first was a laborer from the Azores.” Biddle, in his _Sebastian Cabot_, p. 246, had conjectured from a passage in a letter of Pasqualigo in the _Paesi novamente retrovati_ of 1507 (lib. vi. cap. cxxvi.), that the name had come from Cortereal’s selling its natives in Lisbon as slaves.
