1638 Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean

Mapa do Golfo do México e das Caraíbas de 1638 - Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas…"Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali, cum Terris Adiacentibus", Blaeu, Willem Este belo mapa centrado nas Índias Ocidentais reflete o conhecimento em primeira mão de Hessel Gerritsz durante a sua viagem à América do Sul e às Índias Ocidentais, realizada em 1628. Abrange a mesma região que o mapa de Gerritsz de 1631; desde a Baía de Chesapeake até à costa norte da América do Sul, com a adição da costa oeste da América Central. A nomenclatura na América do Norte é praticamente idêntica, com a notável adição do nome Virgínia. A nomenclatura foi provavelmente derivada de uma carta espanhola, uma vez que não tem qualquer influência francesa. O mapa está ricamente decorado com três belas cartelas, veleiros, linhas de rumo e rosas de compasso. — Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, 1638 – Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas… “Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali, cum Terris Adiacentibus”, Blaeu, Willem This beautiful map, with the West Indies at its centre, reflects the first-hand knowledge gained by 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.
