Description

A reproduction of La Cosa's map made after Columbus's second voyage. The text at the bottom explains the history of the map, as well as describing evidence that the map was retouched as late as 1508. The La Cosa map is brilliantly illustrated with place names throughout Europe and the New World. The title of the map provides an interesting insight into an American mid-century world view-as this is neither a map of the full world nor the oldest map (by several thousand years) which purports to show the whole world. Reproduced after Jomard's 1862 facsimile of the original.

Date estimated.
