It covers the southern half of the New World through the eyes of Renaissance Europe, its coastlines and interior compiled from the accounts of Spanish and Portuguese seafarers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe atlas began with Flemish mapmaker Gerard de Jode, whose lifelong project set out to challenge the Theatrum of Ortelius. When he died in 1591, his son Cornelis took up the task and issued the completed volume in 1593, adapting maps from Italian, German, and Flemish predecessors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough admired for its quality, the atlas never sold well, and few copies have lasted to the present. Its maps of the Americas rank among the most noteworthy it contained, depicting a continent that Europeans had only lately reached, barely a century after Columbus first sailed west.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis scarce map stands as a testament to one of the most sought-after atlases of its time, offering a window into how the Renaissance saw a continent still largely unexplored. An exquisite addition to any collection, it preserves a coveted relic of the sixteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":67721360998589,"sku":"ENMAP0825_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30 Inch","offer_id":67721361031357,"sku":"ENMAP0825_2430L","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1mFKqL_A_Q2VxjjJqf454FG-kPYVk7AO5_w1000.jpg?v=1791603168","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1593-de-jode-map-of-south-america-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
