Description
This is the second copperplate of Ortelius' map showing the western hemisphere, showing the prominent bulge in the South American coastline. An important map because of its influence on the European perceptions of America. When the map was first published by Abraham Ortelius at Antwerp in 1570, it was the best map of the Americas available.
It was in fact the first of its kind to achieve-wide circulation through an atlas. Lower California is correctly shown as a peninsula and America is separated from Asia in the north west. In this state the name of the Azores corrected to Las Açores .
Quarta pars Brabantiae cujus caput Sylvaducis.
The coat of arms of Brabant and 's-Hertogenbosch do appear on the map. But the municipal arms in the columns on right and left-hand side have not yet been filled in. The map was prepared by Willibrordus van der Burgt.Considered one of the most decorative maps published by the publishing house of Blaeu.
