Antique World Map 1507 Antique map reproduction of the world circa 1507. This is the earliest known map to write "America". Kroll's Note: The cartographer of this map, Martin Waldseemuller, erroneously assumed 'America' was named for Amerigo Vespucci; it was actually named for Welshman Richard Ameryk, the Bristol merchant who financed John Cabot's voyage of exploration in 1947. (Italian-born Cabot mapped the North American coastline from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. Vespucci never reached North America.) - Maria Jam Brown, Chief Cartographer. Paper or Laminated Paper Laminated (+$12.00) Price $29.95
