Description

Woodcut map based on Abraham Ortelius' classic map of 1570, with the huge bulge in the southwest coastline of South America, the Ortelian western coastline of North America, and the great southern continent, here called Meridies Terra de Fuego. However, because of the restrictions inherent in wood block engraving, Petri's map is somewhat generalized. A village of Quivira and the Sierra Nevada is located in present-day California. Inland is the kingdom of Quivira with those of Anian and Tolm to the north and east. Above the map are two elongated ovals of Gothic German text and above that, in the upper margin a German title "Die newen Inseln so hinder Hispania Gegen Orient bey dem Landt Indie Gelegen". CONDITION: very good.

Info

Do you want to sell your antique maps or atlases?

If you wish to offer us maps for sale, it is most helpful to provide a list of maps which includes the title of the map, the mapmaker, the size of the map (printed image only) and a brief condition report. Pictures are also very helpful. It is typically not necessary to send more than one picture per map, unless requested.
