Additional Information
First published in 1618, this elegant map carries a Latin title meaning "America newly delineated." It portrays the New World as Europeans understood it, spanning both continents from the frozen north to the tip of South America, joining scholarly ambition with the ornamental artistry of Golden Age Amsterdam.
It descends from the prominent workshops of Hondius and Jansson, Dutch publishers who shaped mapmaking when the Netherlands ruled the seas. Issued in its first state by Jodocus Hondius and reworked across later editions, the design steadily refined its picture of a continent still largely unknown to Europe.
The map teems with the wonder of the age. South America looms oversized, its interior filled with figures of native peoples and wild animals, while sailing ships and sea creatures animate the surrounding oceans. California appears as a slender peninsula, and the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola are marked.
This majestic map stands as a testament to an era of exploration when the Americas still brimmed with mystery, offering a window into how the Old World pictured distant shores four centuries ago. An alluring addition to any collection, it preserves a storied piece of New World history.
