The post 1606 – P. Bertius – Descriptio Americae appeared first on Antique Maps.

The earliest and one of the most important separate map to show both Americas. Although it was not the first map to use "America" as a designation for the New World, it was the appearance of the name in the Cosmographia, an immensely popular work which went into some forty editions over the hundred years. It is the first map to show the New World as an entity, the earliest appearance of Japan on a map, predating European contact and first appearance of Mare Pacificum on a map. It is nicely decorated map with Magellan’s ship Victoria, the only survivor of five vessels and Brazil as the ‘place of the cannibals’ (Canibali).
