One of the most important maps of the 16th century which brought the name 'America' into the lexicon. It is the earliest to show all of North and South America in a true continental form with a continuous coastline. South America is more accurately mapped than the North. Japan (Zipangri) is shown as being close to modern-day California, the Yucatan peninsula is shown as an island and the lake at Temistitan is connected to the Gulf of Mexico. The northeastern portion - labelled 'Francisca' - has a settlement called 'C. Britonum' indicative of British early exploration and fishing in the area. A vignette on the east coast of South America shows tree branches adorned with human limbs and the word 'Canibali', leaving the viewer in no doubt as to the dangers awaiting travellers to this region. The large ship in the Pacific Ocean is the 'Victoria', the only surviving ship of five on Magellan’s voyage. The two flags on the map are those of Spain and Portugal, emphasising the influence of these two European powers in the region.
