The 1585 ancient map of Virginia, also known as the "De Bry map of Virginia," is an engraving created by Theodor de Bry that depicts the early English colony of Virginia. The map is based on the illustrations and descriptions provided by the English explorer and colonist John White, who accompanied the 1587 expedition led by Sir Walter Raleigh to the area that is now known as Roanoke Island, North Carolina.

The map is notable for its detailed illustrations of the native people, plants, and animals of the region, as well as its representation of the fort and settlements established by the English colonists. The map is considered an important historical document, as it provides a glimpse of the early English exploration and colonization of the Americas.

Theodor de Bry was a Flemish engraver, goldsmith, and publisher who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is best known for his series of illustrated books, known as the "Great Voyages," which documented the travels of European explorers to the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

De Bry's engravings were based on the written accounts and illustrations of the explorers, and were widely distributed throughout Europe, helping to popularize the stories of the explorers and the cultures they encountered. De Bry's work had a significant impact on the way Europeans perceived and understood the world.
