Summary
DescriptionWaldseemuller map, complete.jpg |
The Waldseemüller map, the first map to include the name "America" and the first to depict the Americas as separate from Asia. The map comprises 12 separate sheets, shown here into a single image. There is only one surviving copy of the map, which was purchased by the Library of Congress in 2001 for $10 million. Its Latin title is "Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii alioru[m]que lustrationes". Converted from the LoC's JPEG2000 file to JPEG using ImageMagick with 81% quality (to fit under the current 100MB upload limit on Wikimedia Commons). |
