Engraved by Girolamo Porro. On a larger sheet with letterpress c. 1596. A smaller version of Giovanni d'Anian's 1582 Map of America. Many geographical descriptions (some erroneously) were also derived from Ortelius’ Americae Sive Novi Orbis .South America still retains the large bulge. There are no Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains seemed to be oriented on an east west axis. A fascinating smaller scale map of the Americas.
