Section of Waldseemuller's Carta Marina. This is the bottom left corner of the 1516 Carta Marina world map, produced by German cartographer Martin Waldseemuller (c.1470-1520). This section show a large text block and two shields. The shield at lower left has a sheet of paper covering a list of corrections. This map expanded upon Waldseemuller's earlier work of 1507. There are numerous illustrations of mythological creatures and travel stories. Text blocks (in Latin) describe different regions, and the border includes representations of the winds. The red grid lines were added by the map's owner, Johannes Schoner. For all 12 sections of this map, see images C032/2804 to C032/2815. For the map as a whole, see image C032/2803. | |
