Americae Sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio – 16th Century World Map

This stunning reproduction of the Americae Sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio map from the 16th century is a beautiful representation of the Western Hemisphere during the age of exploration. Created by prominent cartographers of the time, this map details the early discoveries in the Americas, showcasing the continents of North and South America alongside portions of Europe and Africa. Intricate illustrations of sailing ships and sea monsters add to the map’s artistic and historical charm.

This map holds immense historical significance as it reflects early European perceptions of the New World during the great Age of Discovery. It’s perfect for history enthusiasts and collectors interested in antique cartography or the exploration of the Americas.

I personally digitally restore and clean up the original scanned image, adjusting colors, exposure, and fixing blemishes to produce a high-quality print. However, to maintain the vintage look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.

What Makes My Prints Different

Sure, you might find similar prints elsewhere, but not all prints are equal. I use a high-end lab with professional photo printers, high-quality archival inks, and acid-free archival Lustre paper—a premium, heavier paper offering vibrant colors with a fingerprint-resistant, glare-free matte finish. Prints are available in all popular sizes; select your size when ordering. Please note that listing photos are low resolution, but high-resolution files are used for printing. Prints are unframed; frames shown are for illustration purposes only.

Shipping

Prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. They are shipped flat in a rigid box or rolled in a sturdy mailing tube, depending on size. Please refer to the shop’s policies for additional shipping information.
