Joducus Hondius: America (Modern Reproduction)
Title: America (Modern Reproduction) Map Maker: Joducus Hondius
Description: Modern reproduction, printed on fine paper. One of the most famous map of America from the 17th Century. A striking modern copy of Hondius's highly sought after map of America. The map shows a more accurate west coast of South America than its Mercator predecessor and considerably narrows the continent, although North America retains its wide projection. The east coast includes a bizzare projection of Virginia far into the Atlantic Ocean. The decorative scenes are derived from DeBry. The west coast of North America extends nearly due west. The seven cities of gold are illustrated in the southwest. No Great Lakes are shown. The inset shows native Brazilians brewing beer. A fine decorative reproduction of this important early 17th Century map. Condition Description: Modern Reproduction References: Burden #150.
