Title

Americae Sive Qvartae Orbis Partis Nova Et Exactissima Descripto/ Avctore Diego Gvtiero Philippi Regis Hisp./ Etc. Cosmographo Hiero Cock. Excvde. 1562 (North and South America)

Description Diego Gutierrez was a cosmographer at the Casa de la Contratacion in Seville, and as such he had access to the majority of Spanish charts. In 1562 Hieronymus Cock of Antwerp drew on these to produce this the first large scale engraved map of the New World. The source of the cartography south of the Amazon River is, however, unknown; Caraci speculates that there appears to be an unidentified Italian influence. Produced on six sheets, it records the expanding Spanish exploration, particularly southwards along the west coast of South America.

The map reflects the death of Gutierrez in 1554 in that more recent explorations are not recorded, particularly those in the southeast of North America by de Soto and others. It credits Amerigo Vespucci with the discovery of the in 1497, a frequent error of the time. Here we find the first appearance of the name California, C California; however, we do not see any of the west coast north of the peninsula. Another introduction here is the use of Mar Pagaero (Alvarez de Pineda's Bay) for the bay formed at the mouth of the Rio del Espirito Santo, possibly the Mississippi River. The map is decorated with numerous creatures in the sea, and a shipwreck off the east coast of North America. This probably reflects the Carolina Banks, it is detailed with a life raft and crew jumping overboard. There are only two recorded complete examples surviving; these reside at the British Library and the Library of Congress.
