Store Categories Waldseemuller’s Universalis Cosmographia Secundum Ptholomaei Traditionem et Americi Vespucii Alioru[m]que Lustrationes Year: 1507 Size: 14"x24" Martin Waldseemüller’s 1507 world map - The first known map to name the new world "America" in recognition of Amerigo Vespucci ’s voyages of 1501–1502 to the New World and his understanding that a new continent had been uncovered as a result of the voyages of Columbus and other explorers in the late fifteenth century. Waldseemüller’s map supported Vespucci’s revolutionary concept by portraying the New World as a separate continent, which until then was unknown to the Europeans. It was the first map, printed or manuscript, to depict clearly a separate Western Hemisphere, with the Pacific as a separate ocean. The map represented a huge leap forward in knowledge, recognizing the newly found American landmass and forever changing the European understanding of a world then divided into only three parts—Europe, Asia, and Africa. This Classic Vintage Style poster honors the beauty of this unique art form and evokes the vivid images of simpler times.
