Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean from 1638 – Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas…
“Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali, cum Terris Adiacentibus”, Blaeu, Willem
This beautiful map of the West Indies reflects the first hand knowledge of Hessel Gerritsz during his voyage to South America and the West Indies in 1628.
It covers the same area as Gerritsz’s 1631 map, from the Chesapeake Bay to the north coast of South America, with the addition of the west coast of Central America.
The nomenclature in North America is virtually identical, with the notable addition of the name Virginia.
The nomenclature was probably derived from a Spanish map, as there is no French influence.
The map is richly decorated with three beautiful cartouches, sailing ships, rhumb lines and compass roses.
