Description

An especially rare and beautiful hemisphere map of the Americas, with exquisite calligraphy and superb portraits of Columbus, Magellan, Vespucci and Pizarro adorning the corners amidst nautical scenes. Based on Plancius' 18 sheet planisphere of 1592, especially along the Northwest coast. South America has an unusual pointed tip, entirely different from Ortelius, Mercator, or de Jode.
Newfoundland is depicted as a single island based on the information of Cornelis Claesz and Lasso.
Most significantly, this is the first Western Hemisphere map to incorporate the White - le Moyne cartography in Virginia.
The map appeared in Part VI of the Grand Voyages, which is the last part actually issued by de Bry (Parts VII to XII appeared only after his death). De Bry's map achieved a cartographic success that eluded de Jode, Wytfliet and others who tried to incorporate the new knowledge gained from the maps of White for Virginia and Le Moyne for Florida and who included between the areas covered by those maps the conception of the east coast from earlier Spanish maps (e.g. Diego Gutierrez).
This implied that parts of the coast were incorporated twice (once crudely) and had the double effect of placing White's Virginia above the Spanish version of Cape Cod and of forcing an enormous eastern extension of North America.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
