[24 7/8 x 16 1/8 in.]) BY SEBASTIAN MÜNSTER, BORDER VIGNETTES ATTRIBUTED TO HANS HOLBEIN THE YOUNGER: "FROM THE ARTISTIC POINT OF VIEW...ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING OF THE MANY WORLD MAPS TURNED OUT IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY" (The World Encompassed, 65), an early state, as described by Shirley (67). Sebastian Münster's name in d1r headline scratched out in early ink. One of the earliest collections of voyages, compiled by Johann Huttich, with a preface by Simon Grynaeus (to whom the work is sometimes erroneously attributed), containing the voyages of Columbus, Cadomosto, Vespucci, Cabral, and part of the Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr, as well as additional non-American voyages. The map, which depicts the Americas as two separate continents separated by a strait, the uppermost an elongated island labeled "Terra de Cuba", is "geographically... quite antiquated and was probably prepared prior to 1532 [date of the first edition] based partly on the world configuration depicted in the Schöner globes, or on Apian's map of 1520"--Shirley.
