Americæ pars borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada, Corterealis. Antwerp: 1593. Engraved map, hand-colored, 371 x 512 mm. Latin text on verso. Fine and well-margined, tipped to mat. DE JODE'S RARE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA: it was only published once, in the second edition of Speculum Orbis Terrarum. Together with a smaller western sheet ("Quivirae"), this was the first folio sized atlas map to focus on North America. The plates were purchased by J.B. Vrients who kept de Jode's work out of publication in favor of Ortelius's Theatrum. De Jode's picture of America is dominated by a large Northwest Passage which connects to the single "Lago de Conibus." Three small freshwater lakes are also shown, but no Great Lakes. There are insets of six native inhabitants and also a European caravel firing on natives with bows and arrows. Burden 81; Schwartz & Ehrenberg pl.39.
