Own a piece of history with this 36" x 21" reproduction of the Waldseemüller map, the first to ever feature the name "America."

Created by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in 1507, this map marked a turning point in world geography by labeling the newly discovered continent in honor of explorer Amerigo Vespucci. "America" is proudly placed on South America, forever changing the world’s view.

Waldseemüller expanded Ptolemy’s traditional world map to include the Americas, reflecting a major shift in understanding of global geography.

The map’s detailed depiction of the continents and high latitudes captures the spirit of exploration during the Age of Discovery.

Printed on high-quality archival paper for lasting durability and is available in 2 different sizes, this map is perfect for framing and makes an ideal gift for history enthusiasts and map collectors alike.

Waldseemüller also created globe gores—sections designed to be cut and formed into a globe—that, like the wall map, portray the Americas in two distinct pieces.

With only one original surviving copy housed in the Library of Congress, this reproduction offers a rare opportunity to bring a landmark in cartography into your home or office. Celebrate the discovery of the Americas with this timeless piece of history, perfect for display and admiration.
