  1552 (undated)         1 : 50000000 Description This is an excellent 1552 Latin example of Sebastian Münster s map of America, the first printed map of the Western Hemisphere. The map first appeared in Münster s 1540 edition of Ptolemy s Geographia, one of the earliest versions of the classical work to systematically include maps showing contemporary geographical knowledge. Beginning in 1544, the map would be included in Münster s magnum opus, Cosmographia Universalis, which for over forty years was the primary source for anyone interested in world geography. Consequently, this map had a disproportionate impact, providing the first glimpse of the New World to Europeans for nearly half a century.
