Framed Print of 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 and 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. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © GEORGETTE DOUWMA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
