de Jode, Cornelis: Americae Pars Borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada, Corterealis.
Antwerpen, 1593.
Scarce copperplate map of North America by Cornelis de Jode. It was prepared for the second edition of “Speculum Orbis Terrarum” (Antwerp, 1593) and is known as the first full folio-size atlas map to focus on the region. Based on Petrus Plancius’ (18-sheet) wall map of 1592, and de Jode also used information from Theodore de Bry’s works (1590 and 1591). The admirably detailed map contains many striking details. The facts of the geographical discoveries are mixed with the legends of the time, such as the seven legendary cities of Cebola or the double Northwest Passage. De Jode, based on Jacques Cartier’s journeys, presented the entire coastline of the St. Lawrence River – in an exaggerated way as flowing across the continent from Texas to the Pacific Ocean – on his map, thereby capturing the steps taken to conquer the continent’s interior territories. In addition to the decorative topographical elements, the cartographer had also enriched the presentation of the New World with notes of the early explorers (Giovanni da Verrazzano, Sebastian Cabot, and Sir Walter Raleigh) with an inset-like battle scene in the upper right corner and illustrations of Native Americans at the bottom. Latin text on verso.
Dimensions: 370 x 510 (430 x 575) mm. Clear, strong print.
Burden: 81., van der Krogt (III): 9100:32.
