German cartographer Sebastian Munster's (1488-1552) landmark map of North and South America, the earliest to show both continents, and to name the Pacific Ocean (mare Pacificum).

First printed in 1540 for his edition of Ptolemy's Geography, this map was included in Munster's 1544 edition of Cosmography, and "...sealed the fate of 'America' as the name for the New World..." (Burden)

Notable points include the Portuguese flag positioned over the South Atlantic, and the Spanish flag over the Caribbean. The sole surviving ship of Magellan's expedition, the Victoria, is shown in the south Pacific, while the island of Japan ("Zipangri") is shown, appearing three years before its earliest known contact with Europeans.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
