Historic Map - Western Hemisphere - Ortelius 1572

Description: Sites/facts specific to this historical international map are: the first Oretlius' map of America, from the 1572 German edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the World. This map of America is one of the most recognized and influential maps of America from the 16th Century. It first appeared in the 1570 edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. It went through three major revisions. Ortelius depicts the discoveries of a number of explorers, but the general shape is derived from Gerard Mercator's map of 1569. North America has a wildly inaccurate western projection. This first edition predates the appearance of the Chesapeake, which did not appear until the third version. The editions are easily identifed by the presence of the large bulge on the southwest coast of South America and the large ship in the Pacific sailing westward. This antique map reproduction is situated in: Western Hemisphere. BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED WORLD MAPS - At Maps of the Past, we have all different types of world maps.
