17th century map of the New World

Western Hemisphere, 17th century Dutch map. This shows the New World that was being discovered by Europeans exploring the Western Hemisphere of the Earth. The continents of North and South America (upper centre & lower right) are distorted because they had not yet been accurately mapped. In this map, detailed coastal names are provided and the western coast of South America has been corrected from previous maps. North Americas western coast is still greatly distorted. At lower left is an artwork of the indigenous people of Brazil, while ships and sea monsters decorate the oceans. This 1628 map, published by Jodocus Hondius, continued the earlier work of Gerard Mercator.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This 17th century Dutch map of the New World takes us back to a time when European explorers were venturing into the unknown Western Hemisphere. Published in 1628 by Jodocus Hondius, it builds upon the earlier work of Gerard Mercator, showcasing both accuracy and distortion characteristic of its era. The continents of North and South America dominate the upper center and lower right sections, but their shapes are noticeably distorted due to incomplete mapping at that time. However, this map marks an improvement as it corrects previous errors on the western coast of South America while still depicting North America's western coast with significant distortion. What makes this print truly fascinating is its attention to detail. Coastal names are meticulously labeled, providing insight into early cartography practices. The oceans come alive with beautifully illustrated ships sailing through uncharted waters alongside mythical sea monsters lurking beneath the waves. Adding cultural significance to this historical document is an artwork featuring indigenous people from Brazil in the lower left corner. This inclusion highlights not only Europe's exploration but also acknowledges native populations encountered during these voyages. As we gaze upon this ancient piece of artistry and science combined, we are reminded of how far our understanding has evolved since then. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity for discovery during what was known as the Age of Exploration.
